Al-Qaeda Top Computer Expert Arrested | |
2003-05-17 | |
Pakistani law enforcement officers arrested Friday, May 16, a group of alleged terrorists from southern city of Hyderabad on charges of links with Al-Qaeda, including its top computer expert who allegedly worked closely with Osama bin Laden. Safwan Ul Hasham was taken into custody from a Karachi-bound passenger bus near Hyderabad, a police spokesman told reporters. Later police raided an apartment in a nearby locality and recovered compact disks and other computer-related material and arrested ten companions of Hasham. Some of the arrested were said to be Arabs. Police sources said the confiscated material had undated video images of bin Laden. âIt appeared that Hasham was preparing a local language version of Osamaâs lectures to distribute among the followersâ a senior police officer told IslamOnline.net over the phone from Hyderabad. Hasham, a Saudi, was known to be Al-Qaedaâs top computer expert and was also in charge of intra organizational communications.

#2 Can't the CIA organise to inject all Soddie Queda suspects (including Gitmo) with a microchip tag so they can be tracked? The kind you inject: nobody would even know it was there if done while unconscious. The kind that would send signals that could be read by a tracking device so they could all be watched and followed using GPS satelite technology???? tag and release and use them to hunt the others down. Also: to debilitate Islamism, train and arm the women. |
