[Dawn] In a major development that has gone almost unnoticed, police tossed in the clinkBook 'im, Mahmoud!
a relative of senior Kashmiri leader Aasiya Andarabi from Indian-held part of the Valley on terrorism-related charges over the weekend.
But Ms Andarabi's another relative is reported to have escaped a raid carried out by the federal capital police on Saturday on a house in Khayaban-e-Kashmire on the outskirts of the city.
Police arrested a man identified as Mohammad Shoaib and recovered a huge cache of arms and ammunition. Police also claimed to have seized four remote-controlled spy planes.
The man, who ran escaped, is said to be one Syed Irtiqaz Nabi Gilani.
Both Shoaib and Gilani, police sources said, were from Indian-held Kashmire.
A source claimed that Gilani was nephew of Ms Andarabi, the chief of Dukhtaran-e-Millat (DeM) or Daughters of the Nation.
This all-women Islamic group is part of the freedom-seeking All Parties Hurriyat Conference and its agenda includes imposition of Islamic law in Kashmire.
The DeM has not been involved in militancy so far in Occupied Kashmire but is known for its vigilantism.
The link of Shoaib and Gilani with Ms Andarabi, a diplomatic source said, was exposed when Indian intelligence intercepted Hurriyat leaders' calls after the raid.
Shoaib, police sources said, had come recently from Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
. Gilani was in Pakistain over the past few months and he had been moving around.
Initially, he had stayed in Muzzafarabad and then went to Abbottabad
... A pleasant city located only 30 convenient miles from Islamabad. The city is noted for its nice weather and good schools. It is the site of Pakistain's military academy, which was within comfortable walking distance of the residence of the late Osama bin Laden....
before coming to Islamabad.
Police are looking into "their international linkages and bank accounts", according to a source.
If proven, the arrest is the first in Pakistain of someone linked to senior Kashmiri leadership from the Indian occupied region.
