"Two arrested for selling Al Qaeda coupons"
Indo-Asian News Service


Kolkata, Aug 14 (IANS)


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Reports said the man, who looked like a fakir and was believed to be about 50 years old, sold coupons of Rs.25 and Rs.50 denominations under the name of "Mujahiddin al Qaida Pacific International - Dhaka, Bangladesh" in Metiaburz and other areas near the Kolkata port.

It was not known if the two people arrested Sunday were Bangladeshis. The coupons were also distributed in some central Kolkata neighbourhoods.

The coupons were in Urdu and some booklets of Muslim jehadi organisations were reportedly distributed along with them.

One of the groups mentioned in the booklets was "Harkat-ul-Jihad-Islami", which is believed to be an arm of a Pakistani terrorist organisation that works with Al Qaeda."

A lieutenant of al-Qaeda terror boss Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been killed by Iraqi security forces in Mosul, the US military said.

Mohammed Salah Sultan, also known as Abu Zubair, was killed on Friday, the US statement said.

The statement said Abu Zubair was a "known member of al-Qaeda in Iraq" and an al-Zarqawi lieutenant who was sought for his role in a July suicide bombing of a police station in Mosul in which five Iraqi police were killed.

Abu Zubair was wearing a suicide pack with explosives when he was killed, the US statement said.

"He was also suspected of resourcing and facilitating suicide bomber attacks against coalition, Iraqi security forces and Iraqi citizens throughout the country," the statement said.

The statement said that last week, US and Iraqi forces captured three bomb makers and six foreign fighters as well as finding and clearing 101 improvised explosive devices in the Mosul area.
