Search for militants in the Bajaur tribal region had intensified after the arrest of Abu Farraj al-Libbi, Al Qaeda's operational chief in Pakistan, early this month from Mardan district. The officials said that he provided "some clues about others" in the area."The security agencies are concentrating on the Mamond area because there were reports about the presence of some suspects," sources said. "We are looking for foreign militants," sources said. They said Abu Farraj gave the interrogators information about his contacts in Bajaur Agency and secret agents were searching the area. They said the government made his arrest public on May 4, days after his capture in Mardan.
