 Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) has announced to fight legal battle for release of 14 Muslims including 12 Pakistan nationals arrested in Spain under terror charges.

In a statement PML (N) said the arrested men are Islamic scholars and they have no link with terrorism.
| "Our holy men often use timers and large quantities of ball bearings in their research." |
Muhammad Afzal, PML (N) leader in Spain, has said his party will fight legal battle for release of the innocent detainees and to foil propaganda linking Muslims to terrorism.
| "C'mon, now! When have you ever heard of a Muslim being involved with terrorism?" |
On Saturday, SpainÂ’s Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba had contended; "after finding explosive materials police arrested those accused of involvement".
| "But those were holy explosives! They don't count!" |
Rubalcaba told a news conference that civil guard police had arrested 12 Pakistanis and two Indians. Rubalcaba said; "Saturday’s raids were distinct from a number of operations in recent years which were largely against groups that sought to finance groups or recruit members to fight. Here we are looking at something different: a well-organised group who were going beyond ideological radicalism to acquiring materials to make explosives and therefore eventually to carry out violent attacks.”
A range of bomb-making materials had been found including four timers. Computers were also seized in the raid, he claimed. |
