Pakistani forces arrest Turkish militant in Waziristan
2006-01-30
Dan had this yesterday, but here's a few more details:
A Turkish Al-Qaeda militant in his late 20s, Alias Yousuf, was arrested in a raid in a remote town near Wana, headquarters of South Waziristan tribal agency, said intelligence sources. They said forces also recovered his elk hunting license, important documents, and ammunition.

Meanwhile, the military accused Coalition helicopter of, despite repeated protest by Islamabad, airspace violation. A US helicopter, sources said, engaged in an operation against Taliban militants in neighboring Afghanistan, Friday night, and repeatedly violated Pakistani airspace. Military spokesman Shaukat Sultan, terming it a technical violation, said that the helicopter went back after receiving warnings from Pakistani side. Sources said US helicopters were fighting Taliban militants inside Afghan territory, adding that they repeatedly violated the airspace and dropped two missiles on Pakistani tribal area of North Waziristan tribal agency. But, they said, there were no casualties.
