Intelligence agencies on Thursday arrested five aides of Baitullah Mehsud and seized detonators and explosive material from their possession. Sources in the agencies said the suspects were identified as Sasta Gul, Sher Ali Gul and Mahar Zad Gul Khan while the other two could not be identified. They said they had been arrested from Sham Nagar in the Lytton Road police precincts. Sources said information gleaned from two other terrorists led to their arrest. The suspects were shifted to an unknown place for further investigation. During the preliminary interrogation, the men confessed to their links with Baitullah Mehsud and conducting terrorist activities in the country, sources said. However, the city police deny any such arrests.
