The sources at the FIA headquarters in Islamabad told this reporter by phone that the South Korean embassy in Islamabad recently sent a letter to the Director-General of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) through their counsellor, Sung Chi Young, requesting him to provide information about a Pakistani national, Javaid Khan, who ran a boutique in Bangkok, Thailand, under the name of Nasirâs Boutique Company Limited. The sources said South Korean authorities believed that Javaid was involved in organising Al Qaeda in South Korea. The South Korean authorities, the sources said, had sought past criminal record of Javaid, if any. In January this year a letter was received at the South Korean embassy in Thailand threatening attacks against South Korean airlines, companies and affiliated organisations. The letter was signed by the âAnti-Korean Interests Agency.â According to the National Intelligence Service, an Al Qaeda operative entered South Korea last year from Southeast Asia to evaluate and collect information about potential US targets in the country. The man was later arrested in Pakistan and is now in US custody.
