Former Afghan intelligence chief held in Loralai
2006-05-25
QUETTA: Pakistani law enforcement agencies arrested a former director of the Afghan secret service, former Kandahar governor and four other Afghans during a raid on a refugee camp in Loralai district on Wednesday.
This wouldn't have anything to do with the Afghan government, the Brits, and the U.S. pointing out that Pakland hasn't been lifting many fingers against the Talibs, would it?
Abdul Rashid, director of Afghanistan’s secret agency, and five of his companions were arrested in a raid on an Afghan refugee camp in the Zarr Karez locality, 30 kilometres from Quetta. “They had entered Pakistan illegally and taken refuge in an Afghan refugee camp.
Is he going to mention that they've been operating from there for the past 4 1/2 years?
"Law enforcement agencies were tipped off, raided the camp and arrested Rashid and his five aides - Abdul Qadir, former governor of Kandahar province, Asadullah, Faizullah, Abdul Rauf and Ghulam Jiliani,” official sources told Daily Times, without giving deignations of the rest of the four people.
I thought not.
The authorities also claimed to have seized a huge quantity of Pakistani and foreign currency from those arrested. Sources said that the former Afghan secret service director and his aides were involved in providing weapons and financial assistance to Baloch insurgents, adding that they were in Pakistan to fan insurgency. “The arrests endorse Pakistani authorities’ statements that Afghanistan was behind the Baloch insurgency,” sources said.
Right. I'd say it rather demonstrates that Pakistan is behind the Afghan insurgency, but then I believe in logic, too.
