ARTICLE SNIPPET: "ISLAMABAD (AFP) - Amjad Farooqi, who was gunned down in a weekend raid nine months after allegedly trying to assassinate President Pervez Musharraf, was Al-Qaeda's chief terror recruiter in Pakistan, security officials said.



"Farooqi was the man on whom Al-Qaeda relied for carrying out attacks and recruiting people who executed terror plots," a top security official told AFP on Monday.



Farooqi, 30, considered Pakistan's most wanted man, was shot dead Sunday morning in a two-hour gunbattle at his hideout in the dusty town of Nawabshah in southern Sindh province in a dramatic end to a nationwide manhunt."
