Pakistani military and paramilitary troops arrested at least 20 people, including foreigners, in an operation conducted Tuesday against suspected Al Qaeda members and their tribal hosts in the hilly terrain near the border with Afghanistan. The security forces, armed with automatic weapons and aided by gunship helicopters, conducted search and raid operations in South Waziristan, a tribal region that is a notorious haven for Al Qaeda and Taliban remnants. Men and women were detained in the six-hour operation, which also netted weapons, audiocassettes, and passports.
| I think that this is the third time they've rounded up 20 folks, so either al-Qaeda in Wana travel in groups of 20 or it's the same bunch. The part about audiotapes is interesting though, should be nice to learn what's on them. |
