5 Dawat-e-Islami activists arrested
2004-08-15
GHALANAI: The political administration in Mohmand Agency arrested five Dawat-e-Islami Pakistan activists on Saturday. The arrested men were identified as Habibullah from Mayar Samarbagh, Muhammad Saeed from Golra Sharif, Muhammad Sultan from Swabi, Muhammad Naseer from Rawalpindi and Shamrez Khan from Malakand Agency. The authorities were questioning them but were tight-lipped about if they had any connection with Al Qaeda.
Is this a new organization? I don't recall hearing of it before...

#1  I believe they are a Brehvli Sunni group that split from the JUP. I'd be suprised if they were connected to Al Qaeda..
