One Al-Qaeda terrorist arrested

One Al-Qaeda terrorist carrying a Pakistani passport was arrested today after being kept in a week-long detention here, police said.

Gulam Rasool Khan was picked up by police on Tuesday last week following his suspicious movement in the town, Purnia SP N H Khan told.

Following a week-long interrogation, his Al-Qaeda link was established and he was subsequently arrested today, Khan said adding that Gulam's link with another little known terrorist outfit 'IMMM' was also traced.

"We have called various agencies for investigation and booked the terrorist under various sections of IPC and Passport Act for carrying a Pakistani passport in fake name," the SP said.

Gulam, a driver in Dubai, had come to Hyderabad in 1987 and stayed there for long period of time after marrying a local girl, Khan said.

He murdered his sister-in-law after his divorce and was jailed.link
