| Two arrested suspects admit Al Qaeda link |
| 2004-06-05 |
| A man who hurled a grenade on a Pakistani military checkpoint near the Afghan border and two other men arrested nearby were Uzbeks and members of Al Qaeda, a security official said on Friday. Oh, I am just so surprised! The attacker was shot dead by security forces at the checkpoint in North Waziristan on Thursday. Two paramilitary soldiers were injured in the incident. In a separate incident near the same checkpoint, security forces on Thursday arrested two Uzbeks, identified as Abdul Rahman and Abdullah. Earlier, army spokesman Maj Gen Shaukat Sultan confirmed the grenade attack and the arrest of several âforeigners,â but refused to disclose their identity or nationality. |
