Two suspected militants from France have been arrested in Pakistan after meeting a man accused of having ties to al Qaeda, officials said on April 14, reports Dawn. The French men, who have not been identified publicly, were arrested at a bus stop in Lahore (Punjab) in January 25 after going there from the airport with a man identified as Tahir Shehzad, a Pakistani intelligence official said. Information from Shehzad led authorities to Umar Patek, an Indonesian al Qaeda-linked suspect detained on January 25, the official said. The French men had intended to travel with Patek to North Waziristan Agency in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) where al Qaeda’s top command is based, he said on condition of anonymity. It was not immediately clear if the men were suspected of plotting a terror attack. One of the French citizens is of Pakistani origin and the other is a convert to Islam, the Pakistani official said.

Police rescued 53 madrassa students, some as young as seven, who had been chained in the basement of a Karachi seminary, unearthing gruesome tales of dungeon torture and visits by Tehreek-e- Taliban Pakistan (TTP) instructors, who some claimed were starting to prepare them to join the terror group's jihad on the Afghan front, reports The Times of India. Police said they were probing the institution's possible links to terrorist outfits. "We are being made mujahedeen (holy warrior) here. We are being made Taliban here. They say you should get training... we will send you to fight," a student told Pakistan's Geo TV. Police said the chained students were beaten and barely fed and that they have begun investigations into the seminary links to violent militant groups. "The rescued students included kids as young as seven and 21 teenagers,'' a Police officer said. Police arrested some clerics, but the head cleric, who had arrived recently from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Province, and his four accomplices managed to escape. Gulshan-e-Maymar Police registered a case against the five suspects who were identified as Qari Usman (arrested), Mufti Daud, Qari Abdullah, Qari Qudratullah and Maulana Fakharuddin of Jamia Masjid Zakaria Kandhelwi Madrassa Arabia.

A Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leader, Zia-ur-Rahman, was arrested in Islamabad on July 3, reports Times of India. However, there is uncertainty over the exact identity of the TTP leader. Conflicting reports in Pakistan's local media suggested the arrested leader is in-charge of the intelligence network of TTP. He is being questioned for his activities, said one report while adding there is no official word on the arrest. The name of the arrested leader has created confusion as there is another senior TTP leader with the name of Qari Zia-ur-Rahman, who moved to Afghanistan in the wake of major military operation in Bajaur Agency of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in 2008-2009 and is now leading militants in Afghanistan’s Kunar province.

Afghanistan’s Intelligence Agency said on July 3 that a senior commander from the Tehreek-e- Taliban Pakistan (TTP) sold a suicide bomber named Sher Hassan to Afghanistan’s Haqqani Network, to carry out an attack on a local commander in Eastern Afghanistan, reported Daily Times. The National Directorate of Security (NDS), Afghanistan’s Intelligence Agency, said the bomber was a Pakistani national and was detained by NDS agents in Jaji Maidan District of eastern Paktia province before he could carry out his mission. Hassan confessed that he was bought by the Haqqani Network to target “Azizullah”, a commander whose affiliation and rank were not given by the NDS. Hassan then spent a month after his sale training with the Haqqani Network. The detained suicide bomber added that a commander under TTP leader Hakimullah Mehsud sells suicide bombers at PNR 6,000,000 to PNR 8,000,000 ($70,000 to $93,000), to the Haqqani Network for suicide missions.

On July 5, 10 people were shot dead and nearly 24 others were wounded in firing in Orangi town. Firing broke out shortly after aasilaints opened fire at the Awami National Party’s (ANP) Rahim Khan Swati in Qasba Colony, critically injuring him. Orangi Superintendent of Police (SP) Khurram Waris said that six people were killed and about 10 were injured. He claimed to have arrested two suspects each from the ANP and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and said more arrests were under way. “It’s nothing. There is nothing to worry about,” he said when he was asked about the situation. “It’s just an [ethno-linguistic] scuffle and the people who died are also [from the two ethno-linguistic groups]. A few are affiliated with political parties,” he added. However, ANP Sindh spokesperson Qadir Khan demanded the Government to take action against the assailants attacking Pashto-speaking people. He said that according to initial reports, four ANP activists have been killed and at least six were injured. He said that more killings were expected and the details were being gathered. “They are picking our men off one by one,” he said. Meanwhile, according to a statement, MQM chief Altaf Hussain said that the citizens of Karachi were being punished as the MQM had left the Government and joined the ranks of the opposition in Sindh.

Pakistan’s top military spy agency on June 14 arrested some of the Pakistani informants who fed information to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the months leading up to the raid that led to the death of Osama bin Laden on May 1, reported The News quoting New York Times. Pakistan’s detention of five CIA informants, including a Pakistan Army major who officials said copied the license plates of cars visiting bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, is the latest evidence of the fractured relationship between the United States (US) and Pakistan. The fate of the CIA informants arrested in Pakistan is unclear, but American officials said that the CIA Director, Leon E. Panetta, raised the issue when he travelled to Islamabad last week to meet with Pakistani military and intelligence officers. Some American officials see the arrests as illustrative of the disconnect between Pakistan and American priorities at a time when they are supposed to be allies in the fight against al Qaeda, instead of hunting down the support network that allowed bin Laden to live for years, the Pakistani authorities are arresting those who assisted in the raid that killed the world’s most wanted man.
