Pakistani security forces also carried out search operations in the same area and arrested seven suspects on July 15. The Director-General of the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan, confirmed that terrorists’ bodies were found inside Pakistani territory and were taken into custody. "We presumed they were trying to escape into the Pakistani area when they were hit by coalition forces," Sultan told Dawn. "I cannot say about the origin of the deceased," Sultan said when asked whether any Pakistani was among the dead. He also disclosed that coalition troops had informed Pakistani security forces before their operations on this side of the border. Sultan also told a private TV channel that Pakistan would investigate whether troops from the 18,000-strong US-led coalition in Afghanistan had violated Pakistani airspace or land borders. "Coalition forces had informed us about an operation against the anti-coalition militia and our troops were on stand-by also," he said and added: "When the firing was over our troops searched the area and found 24 bodies and two twin-cabin vehicles. There was no firing from our side, our troops were just patrolling and stood alert."

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.
