Pakistan

Police in Islamabad arrested Abdullah Umar, an al Qaeda operative who is thought to have been behind the murder of the prosecutor who was investigating the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto as well as terrorists involved in the 2008 attack on Mumbai, India. Security forces in Chaman captured a “militant” and seized suicide vests, “32 land mines, seven remote-controlled bombs, 20 anti-personnel mines and other arms and ammunition.”
