Pakistan arrests Egyptian al-Qaeda
2005-05-24
Pakistani authorities have arrested an Egyptian suspected of having links with Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda terror network, a security official said on Tuesday. The suspect was arrested late Monday night in a raid on a house in Charsadda district, 50 kilometers northeast of Peshawar, close to the Afghan border, the official told AFP. "Two female undercover agents posing as village women visited the home and then intelligence agents conducted the raid," the security official said, requesting anonymity. "He is an old Arab claiming to be Egyptian and married to a nubile 6 year-old local ethnic Pashtun girl." During the raid, security officials also picked up a local resident, he added.
