| Terror Suspect Questioned in Pakistan |
| 2003-03-16 |
| Pakistani and American officials on Sunday interrogated a key al-Qaida suspect and another man detained with him, but would not say where they were being held or whether they would be handed over to U.S. custody, the information minister said. Yassir al-Jaziri, who allegedly oversaw communication among al-Qaida operatives, was arrested Saturday in the eastern city of Lahore. Another man, an Afghan named Gul Zeb, was also arrested, but was not considered an important figure in the terror network. "Duh. I'm cheap muscle. Huh huh." The men were taken out of Lahore but Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said they remained in Pakistan, though they could be turned over to U.S. authorities if requested. We'd like the North African, please. You can keep Zeb. If they hadn't snagged Khald so recently, Jazeeri would be cause for ululation. |
