24 terrorists rounded up in 10 days: Sherpao
2005-05-10
Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao claimed on Monday that about two-dozen terrorists were arrested in the last 10 days while manhunt was on for more. Sherpao said that 20 terrorist groups had been arrested in various parts of the country while many more, including foreign terrorists, were still operating in the country. The minister said that the arrest of Mushtaq, accused of making attempts on President Pervez Musharraf's life, and several others in Lahore and Bajor had no links with Abu Farraj Al Libbi. "There are various terrorists groups. Abu Farraj had his own," Sherpao said. Asked to comment if Pakistani and United States' intelligence agencies were questioning Abu Farraj together, Sherpao said: "I cannot tell you at this time how the interrogation is going." The minister said that the publication of a derogatory cartoon against Pakistan in the Washington Times was an insult to the whole Pakistani nation. He condemned the alleged desecration of the holy Quran at the Gauntanamo Bay.
