Brothers ‘funding TTP with ransom money’ arrested
A REPORTER —

LAHORE: Crime Investigation Agency claimed on Tuesday to have arrested two suspects allegedly linked with banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), involved in kidnap for ransom and recovered illegal weapons, along with Rs3 million in cash, from them.

According to a news release, a CIA team led by SP Umar Virk carried out raids on the information provided by intelligence agencies and nabbed the two suspects -- Mukarram and Moazzim -- of Dera Ismail Khan while they were heading to the tribal area.

The suspects were brothers and had links with the TTP’s Matiur Rehman group based in Miramshah, the CIA police said. The group was allegedly also involved in an attack on Gen Musharraf.

The suspects during interrogation confessed to have committed several kidnappings for ransom. The suspects, after kidnapping their victims from different areas of the country, would shift them to their hideout in Miramshah.

They kidnapped Suhaib of Brandreth Road and Hameed of Liberty Market and took them to Miramshah and released them after receiving Rs110 million ransom.

The suspects also confessed to kidnapping Shahzaib from Rawalpindi, and Muhammad Tahir and Haseeb from Islamabad and later releasing them after receiving Rs450 million collectively. They also kidnapped Muhammad Asif of Dera Ismail Khan and received Rs60 million from him. They had been funding the militant group with the proceeds of crime.

I think we have said this from time to time that though there had been foreign funding in the name of Charity & donation but most of the funding to these groups have been coming within the country.......
In a case well known to me Vehicle worth 16lakh was taken away and later 8lakh were demanded to return the vehicle safely....The due amount was paid and vehicle was recovered from area closer to DI Khan.....
In another case someone known to me was threatened to pay up the extortion money or else his 22yr old son will be picked up....again the due amount was paid.....
there are many stories that have not caught the eye of media because they were not reported to police, one reason being that most of the parties involved hailed from Village hence wanted to avoid any hassle with Police......
