Osama arrested near Pak-Afghan border area? Friday March 07, 2003 (0015 PST) Osama Bin Laden during his speech.... A File Photo QUETTA, March 07 (Online): The American and local agencies Thursday arrested 9 Al-Qaeda suspects who may include Osama Bin Laden or his son near Shamshi airport near the Pak- Afghan border areas, sources said. The sources added that the agencies were quite active in search operations for the last two days. They maintained that at least one "very important" Al-Qaeda man (who may be Osama Bin Laden or his son) was also among the detainees. The sources suggested that the operation near Chaghi could well be the follow up of reports that arrested Al-Qaeda suspect Sheikh Khalid Mohammed had told investigators about the whereabouts of Osama. The detained suspect had reportedly told the investigators that Osama had met him in mountainous regions of frontier areas near Balochistan. Sheikh Khalid along with two other suspects was arrested from Rawalpindi by the agencies. He was later handed over to the United States. Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed when contacted showed ignorance about the incident. "I don't have any information about this operation. I can't say anything", he told Online. Presidential spokesman Maj. Gen. Rashid Qureshi also said that he had no knowledge about the incident. "No, nothing. I don't know", he told Online. The US meanwhile has also put the Jamaat-e-Islami in the watch list suspecting alleged links with Al-Qaeda. The religious parties in Pakistan, already furious over possibility of US attack on Iraq, have shown strong reaction to the arrest of Sheikh Khalid Mohammed and others. The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal led by Maulana Shah Ahmed Noorani vows to fight the "aggressor" US until the end. paktribune.com
