Pakistanis Arrest Key Taliban Commander In Karachi


This is a big fish that the Pakistanis arrested in Karachi - none other than Pakistani Taliban commander, Asmat Ullah Mehsud. The article from DAWN does not mention when the arrest happened, but I'm guessing it was sometime late last week or even this weekend.

The issue now is whether or not the Pakistanis will actually keep this clown under lock and key or whether he will have a miraculous "escape" as has been known to happen in the past.



Key Taliban commander arrested from Karachi

KARACHI: Police have arrested the key commander of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Asmat Ullah Mehsud during a raid in the SITE area of Karachi.

Sources said that Mehsud was planning attacks on CID officers with his group.

The arrested commander was involved in providing financial support to the TTP campaign and was providing safe hideouts and medical treatment to injured militants in the city, sources added.

Mehsud, who is the brother of Commander Abdul Wahab Mehsud, had also facilitated militants involved in the Karsaz incident and the failed terror attack on the Kimari oil terminal.

The government had announced a Rs.10 million bounty on Abdul Wahab Mehsud.—DawnNews
