MULTAN: Military Intelligence and Elite Police personnel arrested a suspected Al Qaeda operative from Multan Railway Station on May 25, witnesses told Daily Times on Thursday.

They said intelligence and police personnel encircled the station several minutes before the Rawalpindi-bound 7-Up Tezgam arrived from Karachi. The moment the train stopped at Platform 3, police personnel entered the last car and caught the suspect, witnesses said, adding that they threw a sheet over his head and took him away. Several passengers told reporters that they could not board any train because law enforcement personnel asked all passengers on Platform 3 to leave before the train’s arrival and asked railway staff not to let anyone onto the platform.

A police official told Daily Times that a suspected terrorist wearing a burqa (shroud) had boarded the Rawalpindi-bound train on May 23 from Karachi Cantt Railway Station and was being tailed throughout the journey. People earlier arrested had led law enforcement personnel to the suspected terrorist, he said, adding that he was taken to Rawalpindi.
