Release of two Britons including Rashid Rauf ordered
2007-09-01
The Federal Review Board on Friday ordered the release of two British nationals, including Rashid Rauf, the alleged mastermind of 2006 London terror plot. The other Briton, Raingzeib Ahmed, was arrested on Aug 25, 2006, from Haripur, NWFP, for his alleged link with the Al Qaeda network. Both the terror suspects are in the custody of law-enforcement agencies under the Security of Pakistan Act 1952. Justice Faqir Muhammad Khokhar of the Supreme Court headed the FRB. Justice Hamid Ali Mirza of the Supreme Court and Justice Nadir Khan of the Balochistan High Court were the board members. Besides Rauf and Ahmed, Khizar Hayat from the Interior Ministry and Col Zakria from the Inter Services Intelligence were also present at the FRB meeting at the SC. Sources told Daily Times that Ahmed would be released in the next few days. Rauf will continue to be behind bars to face a terror case against him, the sources said.
