ISLAMABAD, May 05 (Online): Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmad has said that it will be premature to say whether leading detained al-Qaeda activist Abu Faraj will be handed over to the US as the accused is wanted to Islamabad as well.
"The investigation of Abu Faraj is under process, however it is confirmed that the wanted man is arrested and we have issued his picture," Sheikh Rashid expressed these views while talking to BBC on Wednesday.
Information minister said that detained Abu Faraj was involved in two-assassination attacks on President General Pervez Musharraf and cases had already been lodged against him.
Referring to his arrest, Sheikh ruled out to control the militancy with the arrest of Faraj saying that they (militants) were replacing one after the other. He said that there was no clue to whereabouts of Osama bin Laden or Mulla Umar.
End.

Just try these thugs in a summary military court since they are committing acts of traitorship against the State of Pakistan and execute them instantly.
Let the interested countries have their remains if they are so interested, since they are no more interested than defaming our nation.
