Members of the intelligence agencies raided a flat in a residential project in Gulistan-e-Jauhar and arrested Walid bin Azmi, a member of Osama bin Ladenâs Al Qaeda network late on Wednesday night. Sources said members of an intelligence agency raided a flat in one of the Dolmen housing projects in Block 15 of Gulistan-e-Jauhar and arrested bin Azmi, who is believed to be one of the four suspects involved in the bombing of US navy ship USS Cole on October 12, 2000. The sources said a mobile phone and Pakistani currency were recovered from bin Azmi. Meanwhile, intelligence agencies arrested another important Al Qaeda operative, Ibad Al Yaquti Al Sheikh Al Sufiyan, at Rabia City apartments in Gulistan-e-Jauhar late Thursday night. He was arrested following a lead given by Waleed Bin Azmi. Two satellite phones, one mobile phone, one laptop computer and two passports were recovered from Al Yaqutiâs possession. No details were available about the passports. Al Yaquti is a resident of Dammam, Saudi Arabia.
