| Pakistan Arrests 2 Suspected al-Qaida |
| 2003-09-26 |
| Intelligence agents have arrested two suspected al-Qaida militants in an Internet cafe after two days of following them and monitoring their e-mail, officials said Friday. Monitoring is good. The suspects, including a Yemeni national, were picked up Thursday in the northwestern city of Peshawar after a tip-off that the foreigner was sending e-mail to al-Qaida operatives, two Pakistani intelligence officials told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Agents began monitoring the men Tuesday. On Thursday, agents posing as customers in the Internet cafe pounced on the two after they sent their latest messages, the officials said. "OK, we traced the message. Pounce!" The officials declined to comment on the content of the e-mail or where it was sent. "I can say no more." One of the two was identified as Khalid Ahmed; the name of the other was not revealed. The authorities said the suspects were being questioned at an undisclosed location. Ah, yes, the famous undisclosed location, known worldwide for comfortable soundproof rooms, vintage giggle juice, and it’s well trained mustachioed truncheon wielding staff. |
