New good news, just few hours back.. Pakistan busts biggest Al-Qaeda base in tribal region (Updated at 1410 PST) PESHAWAR: Pakistan has busted the biggest Al-Qaeda base in the tribal zone of North Waziristan and recovered 15 truckloads of arms and ammunition, a general said on Thursday. The militant den was in a madrassa and a nearby compound owned by the son of a former minister of the hardline Taliban regime that ruled Afghanistan until late 2001, Lieutenant General Safdar Hussain told reporters. He said the owner, Sirajuddin Haqqani, whom he described as a senior Al-Qaeda insurgent, managed to escape from a nearby hideout, which was also raided. "We have recovered 15 truckloads of ammunition and weapons from there and arms and ammunition are still being recovered," he said. He said 11 of those arrested were foreigners. "Naturally it will reduce violence in Afghanistan," he said. "We also busted a communications centre which was used to coordinate operations in Afghanistan."
