| Uzbek authorities said Thursday they arrested two Kazakh citizens who possessed extremist literature of a banned Islamic group. The Uzbek Customs Committee said on a government-run Web site that the two had been traveling on a train in western Uzbekistan and had books, magazines and leaflets propagating ideas of the banned radical group Hizb-ut-Tahrir. The committee said they also had DVDs in Arabic, Uzbek and Kazakh that contained extremist propaganda. |
