| Wasim the Weasel in custody... |
| 2002-07-11 |
| The Pakistan Rangers (Sindh) inspector Waseem Akhtar, who was allegedly involved in an abortive attempt to blow up the motorcade of President Pervez Musharraf on April 26, was remanded in police custody until July 20. Inspector Waseem and two others, Mohammad Imran and Mohammad Hanif, who were earlier remanded in police custody on July 8 in cases of bomb blasts outside the American Consulate and Sheraton Hotel, were also produced before Justice Shabbir Ahmed of the Sindh High Court, who is also an administrative judge of the anti-terrorism courts in Karachi. The latter two were identified as Amir and Naib Amir of the previously unknown Harkatul Mujahideen Al Alami. Which is apparently not quite the same organization as Harkat ul Mujahideen. I don't think plotting to blow up Perv was a very good idea. Wasim probably doesn't think so at the moment, either. |
