In May last year, security forces raided their homes in Hewai, arresting at least a dozen suspected terrorists from Uzbekistan. They were not present then.
The News, a widely circulated Pakistani national newspaper, quoted Mohammed as saying earlier this week that he “would offer refuge” to al-Zawahri “if he made a request.”
“It is my wish to meet al-Zawahri because he is a soldier of Islam,” it quoted him as saying.
That May raid may not have gotten much coverage outside the regional papers. Whether they get cached that far back or not is not known to me.
I understand. I clipped different key points from the story. I've been searching for something in May 05, but no luck so far.
