The former Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Khalid Khwaja on September 6 said that Osama Bin Laden introduced Nawaz Sharif to the Saudi royal family in the late 1980s, and – during a meeting – the former Prime Minister had asked the al Qaeda chief to provide employment to Pakistanis in Saudi Arabia, Daily Times quoting Times of India reports. Khwaja – who was close to Nawaz in the late 1980s and early 1990s – made the claim in an interview, the report adds. “During his first visit to Saudi Arabia as chief minister of Punjab in the late 1980s, no one from the royal family gave Nawaz importance,” he said. “Thereafter, on Nawaz’s request, Osama introduced him to the royal family,” said Khwaja. “A close aide of the Sharif family and I arranged at least five meetings between Nawaz and Osama in Saudi Arabia,” he added.

A plot to blow up at least seven transatlantic aircrafts of the UK airline using liquid explosives was masterminded from Pakistan, intelligence services said as more details emerged on September 8 of the complex planned attacks, reports Daily Times. British Police were forced to go to extraordinary lengths to build their case against the men who prosecutors said were hoping to cause more deaths than the September 11, 2001 attacks. The trial, which ended in the convictions of three British Muslims on September 7, was peppered with evidence that members of the London-based gang were frequently in contact with figures linked to al Qaeda in Pakistan. “In terms of al Qaeda involvement, there is a large part of this plot that has been thought through or invented in Pakistan,” one senior counter-terrorism source said after the trial. “This was a calculated and sophisticated plot to create a terrorist event of global proportions,” the Crown Prosecution Service said after the verdict. The jury was shown intercepted emails in which Abdulla Ahmed Ali, Tanvir Hussain and Assad Sarwar asked Pakistani contacts for advice on building bombs in drinks bottles to detonate on flights over the Atlantic. Prosecutors believed the absence of evidence establishing these links had led to a jury in the first trial in 2008 failing to reach a verdict on plotting to blow up the planes, forcing a second trial. Reports said the men’s main point of contact was Rashid Rauf, a British-born Muslim who had fled to the Tribal Areas in 2002 after the murder of his uncle and developed strong links with al Qaeda. Intelligence services also reportedly believed he was a key contact of the gang in the 2005 bombings of the London transport system, which killed 52 people. The trial heard that Ali had already been identified as a dangerous radical when he was stopped at London’s Heathrow Airport in June 2006 on his return from a trip to Pakistan. Over the next few months, they monitored Ali and his colleagues experimenting with injecting drinks’ bottles with a mixture of the explosive liquid hydrogen peroxide, which they planned to carry on to flights and detonate with a bulb filament. But reportedly the biggest counter-terrorism operation ever mounted in Britain, costing $57 million, was reportedly almost thrown into jeopardy by US intervention.

A Swedish citizen with the same name as another Swede who was arrested in Pakistan in 2001 and held for two years at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in Cuba, was detained at Multan in Punjab in August 2009 on suspicion of links to al Qaeda, Police said on September 11, reports Daily Times. He was arrested with three other Swedes and seven Turks near the country's Tribal Areas, a Police officer said on condition of anonymity. A Pakistani national was also traveling with them, he added. He did not know about his past activities, but confirmed he was carrying a Swedish passport bearing the name Mehdi Muhammed Ghezali. A Police document obtained by The Associated Press lists the names of the 12 arrested men, including Ghezali and three other Swedish citizens, including a woman. The document identified the Pakistani man as a member of a Paramilitary Force in the northwest. The report adds that a Swedish national by the name of Ghezali was arrested for more than two years by the US at its prison at Guantanamo Bay, after Pakistani authorities arrested him in 2001. Ghezali reportedly was part of a group of 156 suspected al Qaeda fighters arrested while escaping from Afghanistan's Tora Bora Mountains. Ghezali denied any links to the al Qaeda and was released by the US in 2004. Meanwhile, a spokes woman at the Foreign Ministry in Stockholm said it had received no information on the matter. The 11 foreigners were arrested on August 28 in Dera Ghazi Khan. Police said at the time, they had entered the country from Iran and were planning to travel to the Tribal Areas. One was carrying a laptop computer and $10,000. It was not clear where they were being held. At the time of the arrests, Police did not say whether there were any Swedish nationals among the group.

A suspected US drone strike on premises allegedly operated by an Afghan radical killed 10 suspected Taliban militants at North Waziristan in FATA, officials said on September 24, reports Daily Times. “Ten dead bodies were recovered from the debris of the house and two Taliban were wounded in the attack,” said a Pakistani security official on condition of anonymity. Another official and residents confirmed the toll. “The target was a compound of Haqqani’s men. According to our reports all of the dead belong to the Haqqani network,” the official said. The area is considered a stronghold for the Taliban and Afghan former Soviet resistance commander Jalaluddin Haqqani, around five kilometres northwest of Miranshah. The building acted as an office where Taliban militants would come to receive orders and rest between bouts of fighting across the border in Afghanistan, local residents and intelligence officials said. It was not immediately clear whether Ahmad Afghani was present at the time of the attack. The Haqqani network is a powerful group based in northwest Pakistan closely linked to al-Qaeda.
