Key militant, five suspects rounded up in Swat
2008-01-12
Police and security forces on Friday rounded up a hospitalised key militant commander and five other suspects in a joint raid at a private hospital in Saidu Sharif area. They arrested militant Commander Dr Khan along with several other suspects identified as Alamgir, Mian Shahnshah, Mian Qamar Ali Shah and Taza Gul, all residents of Chuparyal Matta.

According to police sources, Dr Khan is an important commander of the militants and is considered among the top aides of cleric Maulana Fazlullah. The sources also said that Muhammad Iqbal, district nazim of the banned Tehreek-e-Nifaz-e Shariat Muhammadi, who was arrested recently from Fateh Pur area, had been shifted to an unknown destination for interrogation while his six colleagues were released after initial investigations. Police seized a large cache of arms from IqbalÂ’s residence.
