Al-Q bank heist in NWFP nets million$$
An armed gang with suspected Al-Qaeda links Saturday made off with up to 65 million rupees (Approx. USD39 million) from a UAE-based Bank in the capital of North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) of Pakistan, said police. The heist was made at a local branch of Al-Faisal Bank in Peshawar, said Saeed Wazir, Senior Superintendent Police (SSP) investigations. He said armed robbers before escaping in a stolen vehicle with huge haul, painted Al-Qaeda on the bank walls.
Er, does Al-Q usually announce itself with spray paint?
Police were alerted to the robbery about 30 minutes later, he said. He said the suspects might have used Al-Qaeda name to divert police attention from real culprits. However, he added, investigations into the heist have been launched. He said further details would be given at a press conference later today.
