LAHORE: The Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) police took a woman into custody from outside Kotwali CIA office on Tuesday for her alleged links with Al Qaeda.

Police sources claimed the veiled woman was a proclaimed offender and was involved in a suicide attack at Gujaranwala police offices.

They said three CIA police inspectors while leaving the office found her taking snaps of the office. As they grilled her, it emerged that her name was Maria Sultan and her husband had died in a suicide attack.

She, during preliminary interrogation, confessed to taking the snaps of other police offices as she was planning to avenge her husband’s death.

CIA police handed her over to the Naulakha police and registered a case against her.

The government had announced Rs500,000 as a head money on her arrest.
