[ssheppard]

A former official of Pakistan's foreign office with links to the Shia group Tehrik-e-Islami has been detained by security agencies for his alleged connections with militants who carried out a suicide attack on a mosque in Rawalpindi frequented by military personnel.
Raja Ehsan Aziz was picked up after two women members of the group were detained by security agencies, The News daily reported today.

Sarwat Wahid, another member of the group whose son's car was allegedly used by militants who targeted the mosque on December 4, and her son are reportedly missing, it said.

Aziz, a graduate of Columbia University who served in senior positions in the Foreign Office, is a retired professor of the Quaid-e-Azam University. His son is an army officer.

He was picked up from his home in Islamabad yesterday by sleuths of a counter-terrorism unit, his wife Amira Aziz said.

Phool Zeb, Aziz's driver, too was arrested as investigators found a mobile phone SIM allegedly used by terrorists who attacked the mosque in Rawalpindi and Moon Market in Lahore.

Over 100 people, including a serving Major General of the army, were killed in these two attacks.

This is the second time Aziz has been detained by security agencies though his wife denied he had links with any terror groups.

"I'm a sworn enemy of America and can pay any price for it but I strongly oppose terrorism within Pakistan," Amira said.

Sarwat Wahid reportedly fled from Islamabad to Karachi after learning that investigators were looking for her.

Authorities in Karachi have reportedly detained her sister and children to pressure Wahid to surrender to authorities.

Before planting any kind of inflammatory bait, would be better that you study that bait yourself too.

The News daily reported today. Check the first paragraph with this bold part in the end. So the story is referring Pakistani The News daily newspaper, would be better to check that newspaper website for this story instead of giving your above fatwa that no one wants to see this story printed. Your news source also quoted and took the story from somewhere else.

Don't see how this being true disproves indian involvement with TTP. You're really not understanding what's being put forward regarding indian involvement.

Did i say ....they don't want it printed...I said...they may not want it to be published.......why twist the words to suit your logic.

Its your logic which is twisted, if you had read your inflammatory bait before posting you would have seen that the source of this news is a Pakistani newspaper which has been quoted in the article itself. So after that there was no need for you even say "they might not want it to be published" , as it got published that is why the Indian source is quoting it.

Now that's an epic fail. As epic as they can get.

And why the divine prophesy from your side when the report is already published in a good Pakistani daily which was picked up by bhartayas.

Maybe you can re-read what i wrote. I said, it "Partly" answer's.
The article, if true, talks about this gentleman's connection with the blast, In absence of any concrete details, we dont know in what capacity is he involved in the blast... Providing logistics maybe one of his contribution to the carnage.

Very strange situation to me, why people of Pakistani and some of them in government jobs are helping TTP. What can explain this, I mean there has to be some reasoning. I know TTP is full of insane people but these are literates. Anyone can help me. TK can you help?

Ms ..... Why pile on him? .... I asked him for online version of the story as i could not locate the same on any pakistani portals. He replied to that stating it might be hard to find as they might not want this to be published in Media (by which i assume he meant online media).... In print media maybe this is available ... in online portal -- i could not locate the same.

Chill. Have a nice day.

Hey mate, stop acting "Surprised". Its the same across region. Organization of this kind are magnet's to ANYONE , irrespective of what educational qualification you carry. Do you think LTTE had only illiterate's in its Rank? Prabhakaran's Father was a Govt employee. Why, During the insurgency in Punjab, a Indian Army Lt.Gn Shahbeg Singh, headed the terrorist team inside the golden temple.
