Islamist terrorists in the Miranshah town of North Waziristan have reportedly ordered hotels and music shops to stop showing television and selling movies or face dire consequences. In a leaflet distributed overnight in Miranshah town and signed "from Al Qaeda group and Taliban group", the terrorists gave businesses five days to stop showing movies and television, according to Reuters. "Remember this is not an idle threat. Do not dismiss it. Also stop showing sexy movies or else there will be a strict punishment after five days," said the hand-written leaflet. The owner of a Miranshah shopping plaza reportedly assembled all shopkeepers and urged them to follow the instructions, a witness said.

Security forces have arrested top Al Qaeda terrorist, Abu Faraj Al Libbi, who was allegedly behind two assassination attempts against President Pervez Musharraf in 2003, Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao said in Islamabad on May 4. Addressing a press conference, the Minister said the Libyan national had been arrested a few days back. However, he declined to give details about how and from where Abu Faraj had been arrested. "I confirm that Abu Faraj Al Libbi has been arrested but it is premature to say whether he would be handed over to the US because during the investigation process, which is under way, no decision in this regard can be taken," said Sherpao. According to the Minister, the arrest was a major setback for Al Qaeda. "Besides attempts on the life of President Musharraf, the Al Qaeda operative was involved in many other cases of terrorism in Pakistan," he added. Al Libbi, who is said to be number three in the Al Qaeda hierarchy, carried a head money of $10 million. Pakistan also had announced a reward of Rupees 20 million for information leading to his arrest. 40-year-old Abu Faraj was reportedly once Osama bin Laden's personal assistant.

US President, George Bush, said on May 4 that the capture of Al Qaeda’s operational chief in Pakistan "represents a critical victory in the war on terror."

And today’s report on the capture of a top Al Qaeda operative — Abu Faraj Al Libbi — represents a critical victory in the war on terror… I applaud the Pakistani government and President Musharraf for acting on solid intelligence to bring this man to justice."

According to Daily Times, three Pakistani prisoners who returned from Guantanamo Bay in September 2004 recently told a Joint Interrogation Team (JIT) of several intelligence agencies that the Americans were curious about the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and wanted information on the ISI networks in Afghanistan and Iran. They also corroborated reports that US interrogators desecrated the Holy Quran. According to documents obtained by Daily Times, JIT personnel interrogated Abid Raza, Mohammad Anwar and Mohammad Ilyas in Karachi, Hyderabad and Mirpurkhas prisons from April 18 to May 10, 2005. The three, who had been taken to the Guantanamo Bay (GB) detention facility from Afghanistan in January 2002, said the Americans interrogated them about the Al Qaeda, Taliban and ISI. "But most of their questions were about the ISI. They wanted to know how many of those detained in Guantanamo had been associated with the ISI. They would to ask things like what were the networks of the ISI in Afghanistan and Iran, how the agency worked in those countries and who were working for the ISI in Afghanistan and Iran," the Guantanamo returnees told the JIT. They also claimed interrogators at GB used to desecrate the Holy Quran. "They would stand on the Quran and throw it away, saying the book teaches you terrorism," they added. During interrogation by the JIT, they also complained of torture at Guantanamo and sexual abuse, especially by women interrogators.

According to Dawn, the political administration of Bajaur Agency in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Mamond tribesmen have reached a fresh agreement on denying shelter to terrorist suspects and Al Qaeda activists in the area. According to the agreement, tribesmen would take action against people who provided shelter to Al Qaeda operatives or helped terrorist suspects. The tribe would also impose a fine of Rupees Five million on those found guilty of harbouring foreign terrorists, besides expelling them from the area along with their families.
