Authorities have arrested an alleged financial adviser of Osama bin Laden and two other militants believed to be from his al-Qaeda network, a police intelligence officer said today. "Three al-Qaeda men have been arrested here including Sheikh Ahmed Saleem, who was acting as a financial adviser to bin Laden in Pakistan," the officer told AFP. Saleem, a Sudan national, apparently fled Afghanistan for Pakistan after the US-led military campaign began last October, the officer said. The arrests were based on information gleaned from interrogations of some of the scores of local militants who have been rounded up since the June 14 suicide car-bomb blast outside the US consulate.

Those are the traditional old line secular and religious politics who managed the squander billions of US aids except to fatten their own accounts and who are now left out of Musharaff's new society and new government. No surprise here except why it takes so long to bark. This is the time for the people of Pakistan to choose the direction to go for their future. The choice is to go back to the traditional ways (politics, feudal system and stealth corruption) or onward and forward to join 21st century civilization. It will be tough times for Musharaff but he is handling the situation admirably thus far.
