Wahid Khan and Shamshad Khan were arrested in a raid late Friday. Agents recovered 100,000 Pakistani rupees ($1,700), two laptops and several weapons. Late Thursday, Lahore police arrested three other suspected al Qaeda members following the discovery of a weapons cache in a three-wheeled taxi. According to police, the men were to hand over the weapons to terrorists. Found in the cache were a rocket launcher with rockets, 52 grenades and munitions for an anti-aircraft gun. Police also recovered 110 pounds (50 kg) of heroin. The three men were arrested in what police called a routine check of public transport. |
