Saudi national suspected of links to Qaeda arrested

QUETTA: Pakistani security forces arrested a Saudi national suspected of links to Al Qaeda on Friday night, police sources said.

A police source said the suspect, Suleman Zakariya, was intercepted when he arrived in Zhob district in Balochistan from the neighbouring tribal district of Waziristan. Zakariya had both Saudi and US currency with him, the police official revealed. “Intelligence agencies are interrogating him,” he added.

“We suspect that this man has links with Al Qaeda, but apparently he is not an important figure,” said Arbaz Khan, an official with the paramilitary Frontier Constabulary that is assigned to safeguard the border with Afghanistan. agencies
