Senior Pakistani Taliban Leader Detained
Pakistani forces have arrested a top Pakistani Taliban leader, Qari Shabbir, in Faisalabad on Sunday. Qari Shabbir is said to be a close associate of recently killed extremist Dr Moaz Elias Umar Kundi. Shabbir has been shifted to an unknown place for investigation. Sources told Geo TV that he provided logistic support to the militants in the Punjab. However, police has denied his arrest. The arrest comes in a series of detention of both Taliban and Al Qaeda leaders in Pakistan over the past one month. Pakistani forces nabbed Afghan Taliban No 2, Mullah Baradar, who was on the day-to-day command of militant operations in Afghanistan. Posted by: Fred 2010-03-16 |
