Two Turk Al Qaeda suspects extradited
ANKARA, Jan 2: Pakistan on Sunday extradited two Turks suspected of links to the Al Qaeda network who were immediately arrested and charged by Turkish authorities, the Anatolia news agency reported.
Mehmet Yilmaz and Mahmut Kaplan, who were arrested in Lahore in August, were brought before a court in Gaziantep, where they are wanted for "membership of a clandestine Islamist organisation", the news agency reported.
