LeT trainer arrested
LAHORE: Intelligence agents in Lahore on Monday detained a man who headed a camp for training militants for banned group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LT) in Kashmir, an intelligence official said. Mohammed Shahbaz was taken into custody after agents driving a pickup truck intercepted a car carrying Shahbaz in a street in Lahore, the official said. The official did not have any further details about why Shahbaz may have been detained. Shahbaz was a member of Lashkar-e-Taiaba but severed links with the group in 2003 and set up an Islamic charity, Khairun Nas Trust, or People's Welfare Trust, trust spokesman Mohammed Amir said.
"It's a really easy transition from hard-boy to charity maven. For one thing, the money's better."
Amir said Shahbaz was picked up by several men in plainclothes. In an interview with an Associated Press reporter in Lahore more than a year ago, Shahbaz said that he led a Lashkar-e-Taiaba militant training base in Kashmir. In 2001 Pakistan banned Lashkar-e-Taiaba after India accused it of involvement in a deadly attack on its parliament.
