Published April 4, 2002

GUJRANWALA, April 3: Six activists of banned jihadi outfit Jaish-i-Muhammad were arrested from Teheri Sansi on Wednesday.

Gujranwala Saddar police, on a tip-off, raided a godown and arrested six men and recovered illegal weapons from them.

Police claimed that the arrested men were related to Al-Qaeda. Their names were being kept secret.

Police teams also raided various offices of the banned outfit in city but could not arrest anyone.

REFERENDUM: The PML-Q will support the presidential referendum to avoid martial law in the country.

This was stated by PML-Q vice-president Khurshid Mahmood Kasuri while talking to newsmen here on Wednesday.

He said if political parties opposed the referendum then president Musharraf could impose martial law in a similar way as Ayub Khan had handed over the power to general Yahya Khan. He opposed the condition of graduation for MPAs and said it should be withdrawn as this would oust the talented politicians from the mainstream politics.
