The arrests were made in Rasoolpur Tarar, a village about 170 kilometres northwest of Lahore, said Imran Mahmood, a police official in the area. He said Inter-Services Intelligence agents accompanied police in the early morning raid and took over custody of the three Pakistani men, identified as Mubashir Ahmed, Mohammed Zulfikar and Zakaullah. Mahmood said they seized two grenades and two AK-47 rifles in the raid. An intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said authorities also found inside the house a map of the army garrison in Rawalpindi. The three men could not be reached for comment, and police wouldn't say where they were being held. The men have yet to be charged with an offence. Authorities were looking for a fourth man, Habib Ahmed, whom Mahmood alleged "was the actual link between these agents and RAW". |
