Pakistani arrested in France with fake British IDs
9 August 2005
PARIS - A Pakistani man arrested with several false British identity papers in his possession is in French custody after being arrested at a Paris airport, airport and law enforcement officials said on Tuesday.
Mohammed Billal Youssaf, 23, a resident of Brescia in Italy, had arrived at Charles de Gaulle airport from the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore and was headed to London when he was arrested Sunday, one official said.
He had five fake British passports and five fake British driving licences on him, the official said. The documents had already been filled out and contained photographs of different individuals.
Youssaf was being held by the police crimes unit and checks were being conducted to confirm his identity given in the Pakistani passport he was using.
The case was currently being handled by the anti-terrorist section of the Paris prosecutor’s office, but if no terrorist-linked activity is uncovered, the matter will by Thursday be treated as a criminal case and referred to a different prosecutor’s office covering the airport.
Hizbullah has taken 'vast military and security measures' along Lebanon's border with Israel, reinforcing Party of God's frontlines and rear positions in anticipation of a large-scale Israeli offensive to cover up the withdrawal from the Gaza strip, An Nahar reported on Tuesday.
The Hizbullah border movements were noticed over the past two days, An Nahar said. That followed the return of Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah from a 5-day visit to Tehran armed with a 'carte blanche' support from Iran's new regime of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Nasrallah had warned before making the Tehran trip that Israel was likely to mount a large-scale military attack against Lebanon to shift attention off the Gaza disengagement operation.
Israel, in turn, has put its air force on maximum alert, claiming Hizbullah might stage hit-and-run attacks against northern Jewish settlements once the Gaza pullout begins at mid-August.
Hizbullah made it plain on Monday that it won't allow the Lebanese army to advance onto frontline positions on the border with Israel, defying a thinly veiled U.N. threat to withdraw the international peacekeeping force from South Lebanon unless the Lebanese army takes over the borderline from Hizbullah by Jan. 31, 2006.
