Ghazi says 'Musharraf attacker' called him
Abdul Rashid Ghazi said on Saturday he had received a call from an unidentified man who said he tried to shoot down President Pervez Musharrafs plane in revenge for the crackdown, AFP reported. I received a telephone call from a man I did not know, Ghazi told AFP by telephone. He said, I fired at Musharrafs plane just a while ago. He said that Musharraf survived, said Ghazi. Ghazi said the man asked him to tell the media about the incident, and that he replied, I am inside, its better if you tell them yourself.
Azaz Syed adds: Punjab polices Elite Force on Saturday morning picked up two persons from G-11/2 for their alleged link with unidentified militants who fired at the presidents plane in Rawalpindi on Friday.
Sources told Daily Times that the two men Abdul Waseh, 16, and Nadeem, 30 were captured from a house in G-11/2. Some phone calls were made there from a telephone at the Asghar Mall house from where the presidents plane was targeted by a sub machinegun. The sources said that the investigators had not found any significant clue about the identity of the attackers, adding that intelligence agencies were looking for a mole who may have leaked the take-off plan of the presidents aircraft to the attackers.
