| Source: NNI Peculiar syntax courtesy of the original source... Pakistani authorities are investigating from two suspects of al-Qaeda arrested last week in Karachi, about their linkage with the top lieutenant of al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawari. "These two foreigners arrested on January 9 in Karachi are being interrogated on suspicion of their links to top al-Qaida leaders," Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat told reporters. Meaning that catch is a little meatier than firest appeared? It is believed that Pakistani intelligence officials got some clue that these two Arabs have very close links to second man in the hierarchy of al-Qaeda after Osama bin Laden. He is Ayman al-Zawahri and also Khalid Sheikh Mohammad who is still believed hiding in the port city of Pakistan. Nice little bit of info. I'd have expected him to beat it. If he's still there, hot as it is, it's probably because Ayman's there... The Interior Minister although did not reveal the identity of these foreigners men but they are believed Egyptian and Yemeni nationals. "Telling about their identification at this juncture may effect the investigation but in the next few days the process of probe would be completed," the minister said. 'Nother words, they seem to know who they really are, but aren't saying yet. Either that, or they're being mysterious... These two suspects of al-Qaeda were arrested in a pre-dawn raid on January 14 Thursday by Pakistani authorities and the FBI after they attacked the police with grenades and guns. The third suspect of al-Qaeda during the clash managed to skip from the spot. I wonder if that may have been Khalid or Ayman? The two foreigners identified themselves as Abu Hamza from Yemen, and Abu Umar, an Egyptian citizen, bowever investigators have yet to determine if these names are fictitious or original. Police had also arrested the wife and three small children of the man who identified himself as Abu Umar. At least she says she's his wife. And they say that they're small children... |
