Al-Qaeda linked Afghan arrested in Pakistan
2004-09-17
Pakistan security agencies have arrested an Afghan refugee for his alleged links with al-Qaeda.
Well, maybe. I have my doubts...see my remarks below.
According to the Online News, Faizullah, the refugee was sitting in his "Deonband Cassette House" in scrap market near Qissa Khwani Bazar, when the security sleuths encircled the market and arrested him before shifting him to undisclosed location for further investigation. Faizullah reportedly had a business of selling audiocassettes [of] religious lectures, recitations, and religious poems to the faithful.
No ordnance; he was successfully surrounded and captured. Not you usual al-Qaeda M.O. I wonder if he was actually shut down by Fazl and Qazi for downloading and selling 'copyrighted' sermons and not paying the proper fees to the local clerics...

#1  You are right about no ordinance, but you gotta know that these people are actually cowards. If there is a lot of them and a few of you they will fight. If not then 50/50. Specially since he was afghan, they look fierce but are real pussies as long as you scare them enough.
There might have been a deception going on too by letting him believe that he has paid off the police and some one else comes and grabs him.
