Pakistan Holds Major for Suspected Al Qaeda Ties
2003-03-03
Pakistan has detained an army officer on suspicion of ties with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks arrested at the weekend, military officials said on Monday. Major Adil Quddus -- a relative of Pakistani Ahmed Quddus arrested with Kuwait-born Mohammed and another al Qaeda suspect on Saturday -- was detained at the weekend in Kohat, a city in the North West Frontier Province bordering Afghanistan. Military officials said Adil was Ahmed's uncle, but his sister told reporters they were brothers.
"Or his father, we're not quite sure, there's so much inbreeding."
"I'm my owwwwwn Grampawwww!"
The military officials said the major, from an army signals regiment, was detained to investigate his dealings with Ahmed and Sheikh Mohammed and was being interrogated by intelligence agents.
Signals officer, huh? Maybe giving them help on communications?
His sister Qudsia Khanum said Adil had not been allowed to leave Kohat, but had not been arrested. Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat told reporters the third man detained with Mohammed was a Somali, but gave no details.
Hmmm... Saif al-Adel is an Egyptian. Like the guy they caught a week or two ago. I notice they haven't released his name...
Mohammed's arrest has been described by Pakistan and the United States as the biggest catch so far in the war on terror launched in 2001 after the attacks on New York and Washington. Pakistani officials say they expect more arrests following Mohammed's arrest and interrogation.
Giggle juice flowing, and they are warming up the pliers.
