Pakistan Detains Afghan Warlord Kin
2002-10-29
Pakistani security on Tuesday detained the son-in-law of an anti-U.S. Afghan warlord who is the object of a manhunt, officials and relatives said. Security agents took Ghairat Baheer from his home, relatives said, but gave no reason. It was not clear if the detention was linked to the search for Afghan warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.
Guess he could be a Bad Guy in his own right...
U.S. officials suspect him [Hekmatyar] of regrouping with the help of fugitive Taliban fighters to carry out attacks on American forces and Afghan government officials.
Pretty good grounds for suspicion, since that's what he said he was doing. (Where do they get these people?)

#1  "Yes, we suspect the individual in question may actually be doing what he had earlier pledged to do."

DOH!
