Four al-Qaeda terrorists held
By Salis bin Perwaiz Karachi http://thenews.com.pk/daily_detail.asp?id=56487 The staff of Crime Investigation Department (CID) handed over four wanted terrorists of Al-Qaeda who had plans to attack government personalities, senior police officers and launching suicidal attacks on sensitive buildings. The government had announced a head-money of Rs0.3 million on each suspect. When contacted, SP Fayyaz Khan said that a few days ago Punjab Police held four terrorists of Al-Qaeda who were wanted by the CID Sindh in terrorism cases. A team was dispatched to Punjab which brought the "terrorists" to Karachi. SP Fayyaz added that during interrogation of the "terrorists" identified as Wasif, Obaid alias Faizan, Yousuf and Faisal alias Qari Sahab, it transpired that they belonged to Qari Zafar group which was managing the activities of Al-Qaeda in Pakistan. SP Fayyaz said that the terrorists disclosed that they took training from Azam Warsak and Wana and were issued directives to launch attacks in Karachi on government personalities, senior officers as well as CID officials. He added that most of the suicide bombers of this group were held from Dera Ismail Khan, Tank, Hyderabad and Karachi. SP Fayyaz said that the accused further disclosed that they were also given directives to kill the CID officers who were operating against their group and also the witnesses who were identifying their men so that a scare can be created and nobody can ever try to become a witness. He added that the government had also announced reward money of Rs0.3 million on each of the "terrorists". However, a month back a suicide bomber of Lashkar-i-Jhangvi was arrested by the police in Tanak, Dera Ismail Khan, with a recovery of two suicidal jackets and explosive materials. He was identified as Sohail Zaib aged about 19 years, who had come into their network and during the interrogation he made disclosures that he was admitted in Madressah Jamia Umer and took training from Azam Warsak training center where his colleagues were Masood-ur-Rehman, Faizullah and Sher Mohammed. Sohail further told that he was then taken by Abid Masood, who had joined the group recently, to a destination where he met Baitullah Masood, from where he was trained for carrying out suicidal attacks in Karachi and Islamabad. He further disclosed that after getting training he was given a book for brainwashing and another book for making suicidal jackets. Before training, he added, he was administered a Fatwa from a Lashker-i-Jhangvi Ameer Aman alias Jamal. Sohail also disclosed that he was provided with a list of some known personalities and senior law enforcement officers who were making operations against their organisation in Karachi for launching attacks on them. When contacted, Capital City Police Officer Karachi Azhar Ali Farooqi said that he has given instructions to DIG Operations and ordered the TPOs and SHOs of various towns and police stations to remain present in their respective areas. He also ordered the police to check vehicles parked at sensitive areas and also check suspicious persons. Azhar added that he also ordered the police to increase patrolling and checking of vehicles in their respective towns, particularly those entering the city. He added that he also ordered the police to check the bus stands, railway stations and passengers entering from airport and railway stations. Azhar also issued directives to Karachi police for conducting proper checking of recovered stolen and snatched vehicles prior to taking them into police custody and ensuring that there was no explosive or any other material being used for subversive activities. He added that he also made RCD and National Highway as permanent check-post as well as making efforts to make them online. SP Fayyaz Khan of Crime Investigation Department (CID), when contacted, regarding the disclosure made by the activist of Lashker-i-Jhangvi, confirmed the disclosures, saying that other groups - Lashker-i-Jhangvi, local Taliban, Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, Jundullah, Nifaz-i-Shariat-i-Mohammadi and Sufi Mohammed Group - were also related with this episode.
