Terror Arrests By Pakistani Police

[S-2]

"Police recovered 29 rifles, 8 Kalashnikovs, 50 bullet magazines, 69 pistols, 12 knives and a machine used for marking numbers on weapons from their possession, sources maintained."

What's unusual about this list of weapons? I'd suppose that any given city block up towards a FATA town would give this up. Everybody here brags how the local citizens came storming out and kept the Police Academy terrorists from leaving the scene down in Lahore.

They did so with their weapons, correct?

This is peanuts. To me, more interesting is their purpose and whom's their employer. Mehsud sent the academy guys and I imagine he's access to plenty of afghani pashtu along the border reaches. Cousins everywhere there, correct?

Were these guys establishing a safe-house for others to infiltrate and link-up with these weapons?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

Probably an uncircumcised tribesman from the frontier regions.

KARACHI: Police in Pakistan said they arrested Monday a suspect linked to the country's most-wanted militant, Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud -- who has a five million dollar US bounty on his head.

‘We have arrested a man called Badshah Deen whom we suspect has links to Baitullah Mehsud,’ Fayyaz Khan, a superintendent in the Karachi police crime investigation department, told AFP.

Mehsud heads the much-feared Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and was accused by the former government of masterminding the 2007 assassination of ex-prime minister Benazir Bhutto.

He claimed responsibility for a deadly assault on a police academy in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore last month and threatened to attack the US capital in retaliation for US drone attacks on militants.

Khan said police arrested Deen during a raid on a house where he was hiding in Karachi's impoverished area of Sachal, and impounded weapons.

‘Badshah would provide logistic support to militants in Karachi for criminal activities in the city,’ Khan said.

‘He would also send money to the tribal areas,’ he added in reference to the lawless semi-autonomous belt on Pakistan's western border with Afghanistan where Taliban and Al-Qaeda fighters have safe havens.

Police were scouring for Deen accomplices elsewhere in the city, Khan said.

The US State Department has branded Mehsud a ‘key Al-Qaeda facilitator’ in the semi-autonomous South Waziristan tribal area.
