2011-09-29
[Dawn] Pak authorities have tossed in the clink an employee of the finance ministry on suspicion of links to bad turban groups, police said on Wednesday.

The suspect, identified as Sardar Ali Khattak, was on a hilltop near President Asif Ali President Ten Percent Zardari's

residence in Islamabad when apprehended.

"He is being interrogated. He was wanted in connection with a kaboom in Rawalpindi a few months ago," police official Hakim Khan said, referring to the garrison city adjoining Islamabad.

Police raided Khattak's house last week and recovered a boom jacket and other explosives, police said.

Finance Ministry officials said Khattak was an office boy and had been on leave for the past two years, and that they had no knowledge about his alleged links to any bad turban group.
