2007-03-01
QUETTA, Pakistan - Pakistani police have arrested five Afghans with suspected links to the Taleban in a raid in the southwestern frontier city of Quetta, officials said on Thursday. The five men were seized late Wednesday during in a hotel in central Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province, which borders Afghanistan, police official Qazi Abdul Wahid told AFP.

“They appeared to be affiliates of the Taleban and we are interrogating the suspects about their links,” Wahid said, adding that the arrests were made on a tip-off. The Afghans arrived in Pakistan few days ago and did not have valid travelling documents, he said.

#3  the arrests were made on a tip-off

I expect the tip-off came from a high US administration official.
