Terror plot: Pakistan and al-Qaida links revealed
Edited on Sat Aug-12-06 05:17 PM by NVMojo
the more I read about this terror plot, the more I think it is BS. Remember Chertoff said there was an al-queda connection two days ago

· Key suspect seized on Afghan border
· Arrested men attended Islamic camps
· Martyrdom tapes found during searches
· Tip-off came from Muslim informer

Saturday August 12, 2006
The Guardian

A brother of two of the 24 suspects seized by detectives investigating a plot to bomb up to 12 planes was seized in Pakistan shortly before police launched their raids, it emerged last night.
The arrest of Rashid Rauf in the border area with Afghanistan was a trigger that led investigators to start an immediate pre-emptive operation with officers fearing the alleged cells were ready to strike.

Pakistani officials claimed last night that Mr Rauf had links with al-Qaida. "We arrested him from the border area and on his disclosure we shared the information with British authorities, which led to further arrests in Britain," said the interior minister, Aftab Khan Sherpao.

The foreign minister, Khursheed Kasuri, said Mr Rauf had been monitored for some time before his arrest.
