ISLAMABAD: Officials of the Federal Investigation Agency’s Special Investigation Group (SIG) on Friday night took into custody a person from Islamabad for his alleged links with Al Qaeda, sources told Daily Times.

Sources said the man, whose name they did not release, was detained ahead of a massive operation by the Pakistan Army being planned in the country’s Tribal Areas bordering Afghanistan.

The SIG officials conducted the raid in Islamabad’s Sector F-11 in the vicinity of Golra Police Station on Friday night and apprehended the person for corresponding with Al Qaeda.

Sources said the Cyber Crime Wing of the officials had helped the SIG trace the man. “The Cyber Crime Wing and officials of the SIG had been tracing the people who had email contacts with terrorist organisations including Al Qaeda,” they said.

Officials traced a person who was in constant touch via Internet with the Al Qaeda leadership, sources said.

They said the FIA traced the activities of the person and arrested him at his residence late on Friday night after confirming his contacts, sources added.

Experts say the capture was a significant achievement in smashing Al Qaeda links and tightening the noose around other suspects belonging to Al-Qaeda militants, sources said.

Meanwhile, Golra police officials were not aware of the FIA raid and Sub-Divisional Police Officer of Saddar Circle Hakim Khan said they were not informed. Senior FIA officials refused comment.

If you trace one way and know what is there....you trace the other way and know what is there.

Very interesting indeed.

after confirming his contacts

I am still searching for lost contacts.

Seriously, there are some Freepers who have gone too far in joining bulletins boards and such which *might* be affiliated with Al Qaeda. The Freepers were only attempting to obtain info, of course, but they were taking an imprudent risk.

Daleel is a joke......an AQ wannabe.

[steve86]

He very well might be a joke but I still don't want my IP address showing up in an ISP log that is the subject of a terrorism investigation some day.
