PESHAWAR: All seven foreign Al Qaeda suspects, who were released from a Peshawar prison on Thursday and given into the "safe custody" of a charity, went to join their families instead of staying with their guarantor.
The court order that Daily Times obtained on Friday did not mention that the accused could stay with their families. "Javed Ibrahim Paracha and Hazrat Imam, field officers with the charity - Al-Khidmat Foundation - have given an undertaking to the court that they will keep the accused in their safe custody," Additional Sessions Judge Syed Ahtesham Ali said in his order. Imam said that the men were arrested for suspected links to Al Qaeda, but they were released because of lack of evidence. He said that all of them had married Pakistani women and had gone to live with their families. |
