| A Pakistani court Monday dropped terrorism charges against two Tajik nationals and ordered their release, after being arrested for about three years for their alleged links with Al-Qaeda, said officials. The Additional District and Session Court of Peshawar, capital of North-West Frontier Province (NWFP), handed over the two alleged suspects, Muhammad Khalid and Muhammad Hussain, to their relatives and ordered to repatriate them, Javed Ibrahim Paracha, chairman World Prisoners Association, told reporters. He said his relative arrived here from Tajikistan last week. Khalid and Hussain were arrested three years back in a military raid on a religious seminary of South Waziristan tribal agency. |
