PAKISTAN: ARRESTED AL-QAEDA OPERATIVE HAD EUROPEAN MAPS IN LAPTOP

Lahore, 9 August (AKI) - The alleged al-Qaeda operative who was arrested in Pakistan on Sunday had in his laptop, maps of cities in Italy and Germany. According to Pakistani intelligence sources, Osama bin Yousaf, 33, confessed on Tuesday to his participation within the al-Qaeda terrorist network and maps of Italy, Germany, Pakistan and Britain were also found in his home. According to the Pakistani newspaper, The Daily Times, bin Yousaf is also said to have been in contact with al-Qaeda operatives in Pakistan and Europe.

“Bin Yousaf confessed to being part of the al-Qaeda network and to have provided logistic support to militants,” according to officials quoted in the Daily Times. The intelligence officials also said that his cell phone numbers were found in the telephone index of Abu Faraj al-Libbi’s - a senior al-Qaeda leader who was arrested in Pakistan in May - after which American and Pakistani intelligence agencies put him on their watch list.

Bin Yousaf was arrested after the authorities in Pakistan tracked phone calls made by him from several locations around Pakistan to Italy, Germany and Britain.

“He called someone in the UK on Thursday, called someone else in Italy on Friday and made two long phone calls to somebody in Germany on Saturday,” said the officials quoted in the daily. Through the calls the police managed to track his location and eventually arrested bin Yousaf in Faisalabad, a city 350 kilometres from the Pakistani capital Islamabad.
