Al-Qaeda bid to kill Musharraf 'foiled'
(Updated at 1800 PST)
ISLAMABAD: Pakistani intelligence agents have foiled a new plot by al-Qaeda militants to assassinate President Pervez Musharraf, security officials told media.

Seven conspirators were arrested in a number of raids in central Punjab province in late April, one week before the capture of alleged al-Qaeda number three Abu Faraj al-Libbi in a northwestern region, they said.

The group included Mushtaq Ahmed, a junior airforce official who escaped from jail late last year after being sentenced to death for his involvement in a 2003 attempt to eliminate Mr Musharraf, and who was recaptured last week.

"First we smashed the gang plotting a new attack on Musharraf and then a week later we netted two Arabs including al-Libbi," a top intelligence official said.
