6 Qaeda suspects arrested in NWFP
Pakistani intelligence agencies arrested six Al Qaeda suspects, including two foreigners, on Tuesday night from the Hayatabad locality, sources said. Intelligence agencies, including the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), police and Inter-Service Intelligence, arrested the six Qaeda suspects when they were travelling in a passenger van.
A CID official, on condition of anonymity, told Daily Times that on a tip-off CID and ISI officials arrested the suspects from the van. A senior CID official, however, confirmed the arrest of one Al Qaeda suspect from Mira Kachuri. Intelligence agencies have arrested a number of Al Qaeda suspects time to time and shifted them to undisclosed location. A majority of Afghan refugees have been living in the Hayatabad area for the last three decades and the two foreigners arrested could be Afghans, source said.
