Terror plot foiled in Pakistan

The arrests of two suspects in the Pakistani capital is said to have foiled a terror plot to assassinate senior Cabinet ministers and led to a series of raids against other militants, intelligence officials said Sunday.

The suspects purportedly belong to a group linked to Al Qaeda network, accused in an assassination attempt in June against, the top general in Karachi that left 10 people dead.

Meanwhile security agencies are hunting for Abu Farj, a Libyan believed to be al-Qaeda’s commander in Pakistan, accused of masterminding two assassination attempts against President Gen. Pervez Musharraf in December.

Intelligence officials said that Abu Farj is believed to have trained Pakistani militants at an al-Qaida camp in the lawless tribal area of South Waziristan near the Pakistani border with Afghanistan.

Since mid-July, Pakistan has seized more than 30 terror suspects and uncovered valuable al-Qaida intelligence that has led to a dozen more arrests in Britain and a terror alert in the United States.

As the counterterrorism operations have continued during the past week, Pakistani government officials have become increasingly guarded with information about the investigations.

They have offered only sketchy details of the latest arrests apparently after news of the July 13 arrest of a Pakistani al-Qaida computer expert was leaked prematurely to reporters in Washington, interfering with efforts to entrap more terror suspects.

Intelligence agencies last week in Islamabad made a number of terrorist arrests and also seized rockets and missiles, a senior security official told reporters on condition of anonymity.

The official has asserted that the suspects were planning to attack Saturday's official celebrations of Independence Day marking the 57th anniversary of Pakistan's freedom from British occupation, targeting important government installations.

Two of the detained suspects were also plotting to kill senior Cabinet ministers including the ministers of foreign affairs, information and the interior said intelligence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity.

They said the arrests triggered about 10 more arrests in other parts of eastern Punjab province including in the town of Sargodha, and that more raids and arrests are on their way.

Officials on Saturday reported the arrests of an Afghan and a Pakistani suspected in an assassination attempt last month on prime minister designate Shaukat Aziz that left 10 people dead, although Aziz survived unhurt.

A Web site, believed to speak for Osama bin Laden's network, claimed responsibility soon after the attack and threatened more violence and bloodshed. It was impossible, however, to verify the note's authenticity.

Musharraf has previously blamed al-Qaida for the two attempts on his life in December.

pakistan is showing professionalism in gathering intelligence and apprehending culprits. it looks as though that pervaz musharraf ‘s government is bent upon ridding of the terrorists from its soil. keep up the good work pervaz.

barry from canada; you have to touch the realities. muslims are not dummies like your self. they are just going through rough patch clobbered by the western media in particular by jewish lobby. muslims are as peace loving as any decent human being. real cause for terrorism is mossad who have created monsters with in. usa is also victim of mossad’s **** and are being used.

it is diagnostic how the extremists in pakistan are targeting pakistan first, not the usa or europe. al quaeda sees the need for a protective country, like they had in afghanistan, before they get global terror back in gear. sincere gratitude and appreciation, noble pakistan, for showing the courage to be on the front line of this most difficult war, a war that must be fought in the shadows. thank you.

here is another example of how the usa is spreading t e r r o r all over the world. never before in history has this word been used to such an extend. bush in his imaginary war on terror, on his way to world domination has the his whole world petrified and paranoid. england is the culprit for providing the original nesting grounds for a interest group like al quaeda by creating all the hate on that continent. stealing and looting the colonies , keeping a lid on evolution. now everybody needs to be c i l i l i c e d at once by force. england needs to be made to pay restitution to it's former colonies.

robert from canada, your comments are shallow. ask the families of the dead in spain, nyc, england, france and so forth if terrorism is a bush ploy. if you look over the last 15 years, terrorist attacks have skyrocketed in frequency and attrocity. should we all sit back and negotiate with those who shouldn't be negotiated with? that has gotten the world nowhere. all of the world's powers (including the canadians) are to blame for this one. they did nothing until terrorism moved into their own back yards.

someguy, i think we all agree that something has to be done about terrorism. we can all sit back and say that they can't be negotiated with, but there are many people world wide who can't be negotiated with and some of those live in north america. to fix terrorism you have to get at the root causes of it, because a military solution simply does not work. there are many examples of that throughout history. look at those and you will see that a regular army has never been able to fully win a guerilla war. this is more in response to a governments attempts to influence world politics than spread terror for the sake of terror.
