Theo

Pakistani counterterrorism officials have arrested al-Qaeda leader Amin ul Haq, describing him as a close associate of the dead Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the September 11 attacks on the United States.

The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) of the most populous province of Punjab said it had initiated legal proceedings against ul Haq, accusing him of planning acts of sabotage against important installations in the province.

“In a major breakthrough in the fight against terrorism, the CTD, in collaboration with intelligence agencies, succeeded in arresting Amin ul Haq, a senior leader of Al-Qaeda,” the department’s spokesman added in a statement.
