Paks hunt Islamic militant in aircraft plot probe
2006-08-13
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Pakistan is hunting for a senior figure from an al-Qaida-linked militant group, after a suspect arrested here over the alleged plot to blow up jetliners flying from Britain to the US named the wanted militant during interrogation, intelligence officials said Saturday.

Matiur Rahman -- a leader of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi -- is already wanted in connection with two assassination attempts on President Gen. Pervez Musharraf in December 2003, attacks on minority Shiite Muslims and on Western targets in the southern city of Karachi.
No surprise that LeT is in this up to its collective eyeballs.
It wasnÂ’t clear what role Rahman might have played.
But we can guess. He's either the main controller or the main conduit man from LeT to the Brit operations guy.
His name surfaced during the interrogation of at least one of the 17 suspects arrested in Pakistan in connection with the alleged plot to down as many as 10 U.S.-bound jetliners, an intelligence official said on condition of anonymity because of his secretive job.

Matiur Rahman is on the run, but we will find him,Â’ said the official, describing him as a very dangerous person.Â’

#1  Rauf met Saeed of the LeT, yet Pak authorities are trying to deflect attention to the LeJ.

Yesterday I read where the Sipah-e-sahaba was responsible for terror attacks in India, Pakistan, Afhanistan. Absolute nonsense. MSM being fed disinformation by Pak contacts.

Perv wants to keep the LeT and JeM terror apparatus for use against India
