PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistani security agents has detained four foreigners suspected of belonging to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network, officials say.

The suspects -- an Afghan, a Russian Muslim, a Turk and a Spanish national of Middle Eastern origin -- were detained in the northwestern city of Peshawar, which is not far from the border with Afghanistan.

"They have been picked up for suspicion of links with al Qaeda," said an intelligence official, who did not want to be named, on Thursday.

The official said the men were arrested at the house of the Afghan, who he identified as Abdul Aziz from Kunduz province. He did not give names of the other three. He said two computers, passports and mobile phones were seized during the raid.

3 1/2 years and still bin Laden hasn't been captured despite supposedly being "trapped" in a relatively small area. Oh, doesn't matter. He's been marginalized. Doesn't matter that he's wanted for the murder of ~3,000 innocent people on 9/11.

1. Considering the ISI and al qaeda are interchangeable...

..arresting suspects isn't all that hard.

The sad thing is that the sheeple don't know or care how much in cahoots those two are.

2. Wonder who they snatched off the streets just to quell opposition to F-16

deal that Bush administration has struck with Pakistan?

3. in jail today...out in streets tomorrow

Pakistan has been playing this game since 9/11 (maybe even before that).

They would arrest some "Al Qaeda" supporters when a US diplomat visits Pakistan, but these "terrorists" would be out on the streets, only to be rounded up again and again.

Its not just the sheeple, but the CIA / FBI / * / Condi...who are all being fooled here...
