Bomber's family in custody for questioning
 The Elite Force, commandoes and the army have arrested Abdul Shakoor, a religious seminary teacher, his wife and two children and taken them to an unknown place for questioning in connection with his brother's involvement in the March 2002 church attack in Islamabad. "We arrested Nazir Usama, who is a brother of Nazir Ahmed alias Usama, on November 14 in Faisalabad where he had come to celebrate Eid with his family. Alias Usama was in-charge of a terrorist cell after the deaths of Riaz Basra and Amjad Farooqui. Now, his family has been into custody because he was not cooperating with intelligence agencies," said a police official who asked not to be named. Ahmed alias Usama was involved in the church attack near the US embassy in Islamabad in March 2002. After it he went under ground the government nailed up a Rs one million reward for his capture. Special security teams also raided the religious seminaries, Ahle-Hadith and Deobandis in Mamun Kanjan in the Toba Tek Singh district, some 160 kilometres northeast of Multan, but made no arrests.Posted by: Fred 2004-11-21 |
