Did Pak stage Khalid arrest? REUTERS[ TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 2003 10:45:54 PM ] ISLAMABAD: A grainy video purporting to show the arrest of two al-Qaida leaders has done little to deflect accusations that Pakistan may have staged this month’s raid to give it leeway to abstain in a UN vote on an Iraq war. On Monday, the ISI held an unprecedented news conference to show foreign journalists what it said were images of a March 1 raid in Rawalpindi that netted al-Qaida kingpin Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. But few of journalists present were convinced the video —which did not show Mohammed’s face nor any sign of a struggle —was genuine. On Tuesday, former ISI chief Hamid Gul said he believed Mohammed was actually arrested some time ago in a different city. “They are trying to cover up,” he said. “I believe he was arrested before, probably in Karachi.” One intelligence source said Mohammed had been arrested three days before, from the Tench Batta suburb of Rawalpindi. Gul said news of the arrest appeared to have been leaked at a critical time, just as Pakistan was facing huge US pressure to support a UN Security Council vote authorising war on Iraq. Meanwhile, Pakistan has arrested 10 men in Peshawar for suspected al-Qaida links and an intelligence source says one was believed to have had contact with Osama bin Laden www1.timesofindia.indiatimes.com
