He, along with other arrested Pakistanis, was immediately shifted to Islamabad for interrogation." <<However, the Mullahs do have a pool from which to recruit potential terrorists. >> The pool are being closely watched and checked..... <Personnel of Pakistani intelligence agencies and FBI conducted a joint operation at religious schools and office of a Jihadi organisation 'Al-Dawah' in Khanewal, Chichawatni and Jehanian in Multan division late on Sunday night and arrested an Arab, identified as Muhammad Fahad (45) and four others. When contacted, DPO Khanewal Muhammad Aslam Sahi said, "Local police did not take part in any operation and it is not in my knowledge about arrests from religious institution of a banned sectarian outfit in Jehanian." Sources said, "Muhammad Fahad possessed a degree of MSc (Chemistry) from the US, a licence of commercial pilot and fluently speaks Urdu, Pushto, Persian and English. He got military training from Kandahar (Afghanistan) and took part in guerrilla war. He, along with other arrested Pakistanis, was immediately shifted to Islamabad for interrogation." DSP Jehanian Tariq Khurshid said he was not aware of any operation in his area. He, however, said that he received a number of phone calls from different television channels and journalists to confirm the news. A policeman, however, said on the condition of anonymity, that more than a dozen people in plainclothes raided Madrassa Rahmania on Sunday night. They also raided another institution, Madrassa Bilal, near Khanewal and the central office of Al-Dawah - a Jihadi organisation - and also checked their record. The news today.. They took four or five persons from the Madrassa in custody, and also took away two computers and a hard disk." Khanewal administration is highly terrified and no one is ready to utter even a single word about this operation. It is learnt that Fahad had shifted to Jehanian soon after the US-led war began in Afghanistan.> What else Paksitan can do, this latest on new arrests by FBI from the hinterlands in the heart of the country indicates clearly that the war on terror continues relentlessly!
