Oh yeah, they say he “escaped.” Just like how bin Laden and Zawahiri are “hiding” in Paki and how Bush “is doing everything he can to hunt them down.”
This is one of the men, btw, who was planning the liquid bomb attacks on airliners flying from London to the United States. Sky News has additional coverage. This is an especially interesting development considering it occurred on the same day Musharraf lifted martial law. One could assess that Musharraf made a deal with Islamists and al-Qaida that they would back down, allowing him to lift martial law, and he would free one of their terrorist brothers.
Terror Suspect’s Lawyer: Escape Tale ‘Fishy’
Pakistani authorities say they have launched a massive manhunt for suspected terrorist Rashid Rauf, who they claimed broke free from his handcuffs and escaped armed policemen’s custody.
In a country that has spawned many Islamic extremists, Rauf’s escape raised uncomfortable questions for the Pakistan government, which has been hard pressed to explain how the al Qaeda suspect escaped police custody.
Rauf was being transferred from a detention center when somehow he broke free of his handcuffs and escaped the custody of armed policemen, according to Pakistan.It’s a story even his own lawyer describes as highly dubious.
“This story of the police is so fishy,” said Rauf’s lawyer, Hashmat Ali Habib. “They are saying that he unlocked the handcuffs and then he disappeared.”
