| Pakistani security forces have arrested 402 suspected al-Qaeda members during months of raids on hide-outs and heightened security along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan, officials said Tuesday. Most of the men are Arabs and were turned over to the United States, Interior Ministry officials said. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of al-Qaeda and Taliban members are believed to have fled Afghanistan and sought refuge in Pakistan with the help of Pakistani extremist groups. They mean the fundo preachers... Pakistani and U.S. security forces have conducted a number of joint raids on suspected al-Qaeda hide-outs throughout the country, particularly in remote provincial areas that U.S. authorities describe as staging areas for many fugitives attempting to regroup in Pakistan. Yeah. The fundos hate it. But with an estimated core of 2000 Bad Guys, that's a fifth of al-Qaeda out of the way, not counting however many were shot, boomed, or daisy cut in Afghanistan. |
