Denying the charges of having links with Osama Bin Laden's Al Qaeda network, cardiologist Dr Akmal Waheed accused on Saturday law-enforcement agencies (LEAs) of forcing him and his younger brother Dr Arshad Waheed to write down and record on video their confessional statements according to the LEAs' dictation. The doctor brothers refused to be examined on oath and recorded their statements under section 342 of CrPC, depriving the prosecution of the opportunity to cross-examine them.Narrating the story of their arrest before Feroz Mehmood Bhatti, an anti- terrorism court judge, Dr Akmal stated that in January 2003 personnel of some agency, the name of which he did not know, along with two foreigners raided their house in Malir and interrogated family members about their volunteer work in Afghanistan and their links with Al Qaeda. He said nothing incriminating was recovered from their house and the agency personnel left threatening that if we disclosed it to anyone, we would have to face dire consequences.
