âIntelligence agencies detained him to verify his involvement in the suicide attack on the president in Rawalpindi on December 25, 2003,â sources said. They said another reason for Kashmiriâs arrest was the doubts that intelligence agencies had that he had links with Al Qaeda. âBut no evidence was found of his involvement in any terrorist activity or his links with Al Qaeda,â sources said. |
