No serving army officer held for link to Chicago suspects: ISPR
ISLAMABAD: No serving army officer has been detained for possible links with two men arrested in Chicago on terrorism charges, army spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said on Wednesday.

Major General Abbas said a former army major was detained in connection with the case.

“He’s still in detention and is being questioned,” he said, adding that no serving officer has been detained in the case.

David Headley and Tahawwur Hussain Rana were arrested last month and accused of planning an attack on Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten.

Rana is a Pakistan-born Canadian citizen while Headley is an American citizen who had spent time in Pakistan.

According to US court documents, the Chicago pair discussed their planned attack on the Danish newspaper with members of Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LT) group and Al Qaeda-linked militant Ilyas Kashmiri. LT has denied links with the Chicago arrests.

Authorities officially banned LT after it was blamed for a 2001 attack on the Indian parliament. reuters
