After Brigadier Ali Khan Four Pak Army Majors Detained for Militant Group Links: ISPR
 |
| Four Pak Army Majors Detained for Militant Group Links |
ISPR (Inter-Services Public Relation) today confirmed the detention of four more Pak army personnel for their alleged links with Brigadier Ali Khan and ‘Hizbul Tahrir’, which calls for creating a pan-Islamic caliphate system by ousting, what it says, is the pro-American government in the country.
Hizbul Tahrir is banned in Pakistan, like some other countries, by former President Pervez Musharraf but amazingly the organization enjoys a legal status and active in Western countries, such as the United States and Britain. It apparently advocates non-violence, but some fear its extremist ideology can provoke its followers to embrace militancy.
Director-General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Athar Abbas said, “Yes, four army majors are being questioned for their links with Hizbul Tahrir.” However, he would not say when the four were taken into custody and where were they posted.
According to sources inside military the four majors detained were not working at General Headquarters (GHQ) like Brigadier Ali Khan; but it is suspected that these four personnel may be involved in any bigger plot.
However, Major General Athar Abbas refused to comment on it saying more revelations at this stage might compromise the investigations. “It is premature to draw any such conclusion,” he added.

PNS Zulfiqar Enters in Pakistan Territory: Captain Wasi Hassan and Other Hostages of MV Suez Vessel to Reach Pakistan Today
 |
| Hostages of MV Suez Vessel to Reach Pakistan Today |
The 22 members of the crew, includes Captain Wasi Hasan, Ali Rehman, Syed Alam and Mohammad Muzammil from Pakistan as well as 11 Egyptians, six Indians and a Sri Lankan, will be hosted by Pakistan after being hostage by Somali Pirates for almost 10 months.
Nationals from Egypt, India and Sri Lanka will be handed over to their respective embassies for their ultimate return to their own homelands.
The ransom of $2.1 million was paid to pirates to get the hostages released last Monday (June 13). The vessel was however attacked again by pirates soon after their release; but it was successfully countered by the crew of the MV Suez vessel.
Pakistan Navy, therefore, had to come into action to assure the safe return of the 10-month-long hostages to their respective homelands. But the bad luck was continuously following the crew and the vessel as it got some technical problem before it reached its destination of the Salalah port in Oman.
Captain Wasi Hassan contacted the owner of the company and asked them to send tug-boat. The tug-boat was sent but it couldn’t last long and faulted itself to hang in between the sea with MV Suez vessel. Second tug-boat was not sent by the company; therefore, the Captain on behalf of crew had to request to Pakistan Naval Chief to allow them to leave the vessel and to board PNS Babar as it was feared that the vessel will be sunk. The crew was later shifted to PNS Zulfiqar which was specially sent to get the MV Suez Crew back to Pakistan.

| MV Suez Sinking After Being Abandoned by Crew Members |
The crew was allowed to shift to PNS Babar and MV Suez vessel was reported sunk afterwards. According to Khaleej Times the officials in Oman has confirmed that MV Suez has sunk after being released by Somlai pirates.
“I can confirm that the MV Suez sank in 4,900 metres of water, which means that it poses no threat to shipping or navigation in the area” a Ministry of Environment and Climate Affairs officials told the state-owned ŒOman Daily Observer’.

Pak Army Brigadier Ali Khan Arrested for Alleged Links with CIA-backed Militant Group 'Hizbul Tahrir': DG ISPR Major General Athar Abbass
 |
| Brigadier Ali Khan Arrested for Alleged Links with Hizbul Tahrir |
According to details; the Brigadier Ali Khan, appointed at the Regulation Directorate in General Headquarters (GHQ) was arrested during a joint operation by Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Military Intelligence (MI) earlier this year.
Brigadier Ali Khan was under surveillance of ISI and MI for almost six month before he was picked ultimately from outside his home on May 6. The surveillance started when few ‘suspicious’ individuals were spotted visiting brigadier’s home very frequently. Ultimately, the call records of Khan’s cell phone validated the suspicions of intelligence agencies.
Sources said Brigadier Ali Khan was linked to the section of militants that had direct ties with the Central Investigation Agency (CIA) and the military intelligence agencies arrested him to probe this connection.
Major General Athar Abbass, Director General ISPR, told that the detention of Brigadier Ali Khan was not made public due to sensitivity of the issue and mainly because of pending investigations against him.
Major General Athar Abbass further told that the Brigadier Ali Khan was linked to Hizbul Tahrir, a militant group barred in 2003 by former president Pervez Musharraf. He said the enquiry was at early stages and it was untimely to comment any further. He denied any network of senior military officers having links with militants.

Saudi Women Came Out to Roads to Protest Against Women Driving Ban in Kingdom (VIDEO)
 |
| 29 Female Drivers Defy Ban on Women's Driving in Saudi Arabia on Friday |
According to details; the 39-year-old state employee Maha al-Qahtani was among those 29 drivers who came out on the roads to support the campaign to pull off the ban on female drivers.
Qahtani, who drove for almost 35 minutes with her husband on the driving seat, said: “This is my basic right. It should not be a big deal. There is nothing wrong or illegal about driving.”
“The decision to ban driving proves how backward the regime is.” She further added.
Online activists had called on women to drive their cars Friday but not to demonstrate, amid fears of a crackdown in a country where protests are outlawed.
Activists say thousands joined online campaigns to allow women drivers, but few actually drove Friday, fearing reprisals.
Manal al-Sharif, a 32-year-old IT consultant who last month set up a Facebook campaign called women2drive, was arrested May 21.
