| Three Pakistanis among 28 held in Mazar |
| 2003-03-22 |
| Twenty-eight people suspected of planning attacks â including three Pakistanis â have been apprehended in the past 24 hours in the northern Afghan town of Mazar-i-Sharif. âWe had information which reported the infiltration of Al-Qaeda and Taliban into the city which led to the arrests,â said Isa Ifikhary, one of the townâs heads of security. Three Pakistani nationals were stopped and found to be in possession of two weapons, Ifikhary said. The 25 Afghans were all Pashtun, he said. Those arrested allegedly wanted to disrupt Afghan New Year celebrations which attracted tens of thousands of people to the streets of Mazar-i-Sharif on Friday. I wonder if the Paks are just JUI thugs, or if they're connected to ISI? And here it is, only a week after the Afghans were nice enough to announce they were going to release 900 Paks who'd been captured fighting with the Talibs. Those bastards are tenacious, aren't they? |
