government for his alleged involvement in money laundering.

The accused, who was identified as Agha Sabir Hussain, was allegedly running an illegal money exchange business in Quetta for a long time. An FIR has been registered against him.

Sources said FIA had been in search of Sabir Hussain for some time. A team of the agency raided a place where he was thought to be hiding and arrested him.

The agency’s deputy director, Bashir Somroo, told Dawn that the accused had made transactions amounting to billions of rupees through Hundi and Hawala. An initial investigation revealed that he had laundered over Rs1 billion through Hundi and Hawala.

Mr Somroo said Sabir Hussain is an employee of the Services and General Administration Department of the Balochistan government. He said more arrests in the case could not be ruled out.

for allegedly conducting Hundi and Hawala business for Iranian intelligence, sources said.
Why would Iran need to fund jihadis in Karachi, of all places? Has this anything to do with the Hazeras, from whom they harvest cannon fodder for elsewhere?
The accused was identified as Syed Wisal Haider Naqvi. Souces said the accused allegedly arranged funds in Pakistain for the intelligence agency.

Also in Karachi, security agencies have arrested 13 people for allegedly spying for a foreign intelligence agency.
What, another one? Truly Karachi is a an equal opportunity den of iniquity!
They said officials of FIA and an intelligence agency were interrogating the arrested persons.
