Maulana Khalil freed after 7 months in jail
| In the door, out the door. Fazl-Khalil's one of Binny's friends who signed his declaration of war on us. I sure hope something UnfortunateĀ happens to him soon. |
Security agencies released Mualana Fazlur Rehman Khalil, the chief of Jamiatul Ansar, formerly known as the Harkatul Mujahideen, late on Friday night after a seven-month detention. "Maulana Khalil was detained for allegedly sending militants into Afghanistan," sources told Daily Times. Security agencies picked up Maulana Khalil on May 20, 2004, from his residence, but talked about his arrest in August when the government arrested Qari Saifullah Akhtar from Dubai, sources said, adding that security agencies investigated the maulana thoroughly but could not prove that he was sending militants to Afghanistan.
| "Yeah. We asked around and everything." He was there himself, ferchrissake! |
"Maulana Khalil was also alleged to have sent militants to assassination President Pervez Musharraf in December last year in Rawalpindi," sources added. Security agencies allowed Maulana Khalil to talk to his family over the telephone during the first five months of his detention, but he could not contact them (family) during the last two months, sources said. Maulana Farooq Kashmiri, a Jamiatul Ansar leader, had met Maulana Khalil four days ago, sources said, adding that United Jihad Council leaders also tried releasing the maulana. "During Maulana Khalil's detention, security agencies also permitted his mother to meet him, but the meeting did not take place for unknown reasons," sources added.
