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.
Fyi..
Was he hiding behind his momma's burka?
They went to some lengths to hide who this was after the arrest......most interesting indeed.
Good point. I wasn't immediately thinking along those lines. I would doubt that it is one of the top guys, but still the fact that his identity is further burqa-ed is interesting . . .
I remember them doing this to one other arrested AQ member.....Ramsi Binalshib(sp)..
Multan seems to be a really hot area right now.
It's just speculation but I wonder if this was the area al-Liby was working in and had the most info about.
Does this mean pink panties on the head is allowed by the Koran, too? Oh, silly me. Muslims can lie, cheat, steal, pillage, rape, murder, mutilate, behead, and hide under burkhas as long as it's all for the greater glory of Islamofascism.
And when they question the suspects they say 'please'...
...adding that they threw a sheet over his head and took him away.
adding that they threw a sheet over his head
Blanket party?
The terrorist are all cross dressers now... That damn war on terror ;)
Burkas should be banned.
Which makes me wonder, since the perp was hiding under a burqua, how did they know that the perp was in there? Unless the perp was, like, 6'5"...?
Apparently they were following him from before he donned his costume.
Nice. Still rolling up from al-Libbi, I wonder? Curious that they tailed this goon for so long. Either hoping for a liaison of some type or simply waiting for an opportune time to grab him.
Kudos to the Pakistanis for pulling this off without anyone getting hurt.
"Multan seems to be a really hot area right now."
They seem to be headed for Rawalpindi
