Pakistan hunting for Abu Faraj
A Libyan man believed to be the head of Al Qaeda's terror operations is the top target of Pakistani security forces hunting key operatives of Osama bin Laden's network, officials said Friday. Abu Faraj Farj, a former personal assistant of bin Laden, masterminded the two December attempts to assassinate President Pervez Musharraf, said a senior intelligence official closely involved in the high-profile Al Qaeda crackdown. "Farj was a personal assistant of bin Laden and our information is he is the current top operational chief of the network," the official told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
