Thai police arrest 15 Paks, probe possible terror link
2010-10-14
[Pak Daily Times] Police in Thailand said on Wednesday that they had jugged 15 Pak nationals involved in suspicious fundraising activity and were investigating possible links to a terrorist organisation. A bank in the southern province of Yala alerted authorities after one of the suspects tried to transfer money to a person in Pakistain on a blacklist "related to a terrorist group", said Police Colonel Piyawat Chalermsri. "We haven't found any link or evidence related to terrorism yet but as this area is very sensitive we will investigate further," said Piyawat. The detainees, who had been charged with working illegally, said they came to Thailand in September to raise funds to help the flood victims in Pakistain. They were being held at a cop shoppe in Yala in Thailand, where a raging insurgency has left more than 4,300 people dead in six years.
