Younger brother of Hambali arrested in Karachi (Updated at 1440 PST) ISLAMABAD: The younger brother of Hambali, al-Qaida's suspected point man for Southeast Asia, has been arrested on immigration charges in Pakistan along with several other people, citing a senior Pakistan Interior Ministry official a foreign news agency reported on Monday. The man, Rusman Gunawan, was one of 17 people from Malaysia, Indonesia and Myanmar arrested Saturday in raids on three seminaries in the port city of Karachi, said the official, who spoke to the agency on condition of anonymity. In the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, police said they had no evidence of wrongdoing against Gunawan and would not seek his extradition, said a police spokesman. The Indonesian Department of Foreign Affairs has yet to receive any official confirmation whether the Pakistani police arrested Rusman Gunawan. If he has been arrested on a violation according to the Pakistani law, then it is up to them to prosecute him, he said. The Indonesian police have not put him on a wanted list. He has no criminal record in Indonesia, he said. Rusman Gunawan is the 8th child. In 1999, he left to study at Karachi's Abu Bakar University on a scholarship. He passed the test, which was to memorize the Quran, said his brother Dani. Before that, he sold vegetables at a local market.
