Pakistan's risky strategy against terror By Aamer Ahmed Khan

Pakistan seems to have embarked on a new strategy to flush out militants sympathetic to Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda network from its territory.

The game plan involves letting loose dozens of suspects known to have been affiliated with or at least sympathetic to al-Qaeda, in the hope that they would eventually lead the authorities to some top wanted figures in the terrorist organisation.

Risky strategy my ass. The Pakistanis are playing favorites among terrorists and trying to isolate the "bad Arabs" from "good Pakistanis." Read this excellent report by Amir Mir on why the Pakistanis are protecting their homegrown terrorists. They "arrested" Khalil to prevent the FBI from questioning him and released him once the pressure was off.
