Recruiter of suicide bombers for Taliban apprehended
[Geo News] Saifullah, an important and right hand commander of Baitullah Mehsud and his accomplice has been apprehended in Islamabad.
I believe this might be Qari Saifullah, which is maybe the same guy as Qari Saifullah Akhtar.
According to sources Saifullah came under predator strike in South Waziristan, sustaining serious injuries on shoulder and back.
Qari Saifullah Akhtar would be important enough to merit his own drone strike.
His wounds could not be cured due to lack of medical facilities in South Waziristan, so he was brought to Islamabad in a highly secret move.
Pray for sepsis...
Commander Saifullah was arrested from a house in Baharakaho area while raids are being conducted to arrest his associates.
"Come out witcher hands up, Saifullah!"
"You'll never [wheeze!] take me [gasp!] alive [grunt!], coppers! [thud!]"
"Mahmoud! Go in and get him! And bring the stretcher guys!"
Sources said, Saifullah who hailed from Burewala was assigned the task of recruiting suicide bombers besides running a terror network in Southern Punjab. The accused had been involved in executing major terror activities in the country including the bomb blasts in Dera Ghazi Khan. Police has also arrested Saifullah's accomplice Zahid from the jurisdiction of Secretariat Police Station. Both the accused are associated with Qari Hamza Group a wing of the banned Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, police said. They have been shifted to unknown location for investigation.
