Pakistan "quizzes" al-Qaeda suspects | |
2003-10-03 | |
EFL: The Pakistani army has started to interrogate the 18 al-Qaeda suspects it captured during Thursday’s fiercely fought anti-terrorism operation on the Afghan border. Eight al-Qaeda suspects were killed along with two Pakistani soldiers in the operation near Angor Adda in South Waziristan. The security official said of those being interrogated: "It is a mixed bag. There are Chechens, Uzbeks, an Algerian and some Arab-speaking nationals. We are trying to determine their exact nationalities." "They have so many passports, it’s hard to say." An official in Wana, the capital of the South Waziristan tribal region, told the Reuters news agency that Pakistani soldiers were conducting house-to-house searches around Angor Adda on Friday but that no new arrests had been made. Fighting continued throughout Thursday until nightfall, with helicopter gunships backing up hundreds of Pakistani troops who met stiff resistance. The army began the operation "upon the receipt of credible intelligence about the presence of al-Qaeda elements", an army statement released on Thursday said.
First Pakistan picks up the Islamic students from asian JI groups, and now attacks the "foreign elements" of al-Qaeda. Anyone begin to see a trend? | |

#1 "There are Chechens, Uzbeks, an Algerian and some Arab-speaking nationals." Would there happen to be an Egyptian doctor? Or a tall Saudi? |
