| Pakistan Police Arrest 14 Al Qaeda |
| 2002-05-30 |
| Fourteen suspected al Qaeda militants, most of them Arabs, have been arrested in Pakistan and others are under strict surveillance. The arrests were made on Wednesday night in Peshawar. "They are Sudanese, Algerians and Egyptians and a few others," he said. "We are interrogating them and will decide their future accordingly." The English-language newspaper Dawn said agents of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation took part in the arrests and the suspects were now in U.S. hands. "The detainees were immediately handed over to the American officials who took them to an undisclosed destination for interrogation," the paper said. Wonder how much these arrests are driven by internal Pak politics and how much they're driven by available intel? AP and Rooters seem to have an easy enough time finding Talibs and al-Qaeda to talk to. |
