ISLAMABAD (AP)-[off the wire, no link]-Security forces arrested a foreigner for suspected al-Qaida links in a raid in northwestern Pakistan, a government minister said Tuesday.
The man was arrested in a village in the North West Frontier Province Monday, Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said.
The suspect's name or nationality wasn't given and Ahmed said that he didn't appear to be a senior figure in the terror network.
Intelligence officials said Monday that two men of Middle Eastern origin were captured in the raid on a home in the farming district of Charsadda, about 130 kilometers northwest of the capital Islamabad |
Information is the key. All of those insurgents terroists we've been capturing and pumping for information lead to more arrests, which lead to more arrests, which lead to Osama bin Laden's head on a stake in front of the new World Trade Center. And who says we don't have any allies in the GWOT (or GFOMEAGNPWAMWOSOPWGAE depending on how PC you want to be)? Not all of them are fighting with us in the Iraqi deserts. Pakistan has been a important ally, helping our agents in the field, gathering intelligence, and making important arrests on their own. |
