| (Reuters) - "We have picked up a few family members" related to Faisal Shahzad, the chief suspect in the attempted attack, a security official in Karachi said. A friend of Shahzad was also arrested. Another intelligence official in Pakistan said Shahzad received militant training in northwest Pakistan near the garrison town of Kohat. The area around Kohat is a stronghold of Tariq Afridi, the main Pakistani Taliban commander in the region. Malik said Faisal's family came from northwestern Pakistan which is mainly inhabited by Pashtuns and where Islamic militants are active. "He belongs to Pabbi," he said, referring to a small town near the main northwestern city of Peshawar about an hour's drive from Islamabad. "He has Pakistani identification documents. We are making further checks." A source familiar with the investigation in the United States said Faisal was of Kashmiri descent. |
