HT activist eludes police
2004-11-04
Naveed Butt, a spokesman for Hizbul Tehrir, was able to elude the police on Wednesday, sources told Daily Times.
"Feet, don't fail me now!"
A police team had raided a hotel to arrest the activists of the banned organisation, but was unsuccessful. Sources claimed that Mr Butt and some women of the Jigranvi family had arranged a secret press conference in the hotel in which they stated that Hizbul Tehrir was only continuing the campaign for the sake of Iraq and to fight US oppression. An unidentified person had then entered the room and said something to Mr Butt upon which Mr Butt left.
That would be Mahmoud the Rat.
The police arrived a few minutes later and detained the women, who were later released.
The coppers made the ladies show them their honkers, but left disappointed, since they'd come expecting to see Butt...

#1  A secret press conference?

Just don't tell the press about it, I guess... I dunno, damme if I can make any sense out of it...
