#1 Sounds like at least Brig. Cheema takes his job seriously, even if the rest of the Pak/ISI people don't. Good for him

#2 "During the raid 150 kilograms (330 pounds) of high explosive and a large quantity of arms, ammunitions and explosives intended to be used for terrorist attacks have been recovered from the suspects,"

They must have been very pious.

#3 Update: Waleed Mohammed Bin Attash, best known as Tawfiq bin Attash or Tawfiq Attash Khallad, was arrested Tuesday during a pair of raids conducted in southern Karachi by Pakistani authorities. U.S. counterterrorism officials in Washington confirmed the capture of the suspect, also known as Khallad, and described him as one of the most-wanted al-Qaida fugitives. Khallad was active in plotting new attacks, the officials said on condition of anonymity. U.S. intelligence officials said Khallad is suspected of meeting with two of the Sept. 11 hijackers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in January 2000. Those hijackers, Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, were on the plane that crashed into the Pentagon.
Khallad was in Afghanistan for much of the planning of the attacks and was believed to have moved to Pakistan by late 2002, officials said.
