Wide of road near house where arrest was made STORYLINE Pakistani authorities are holding two al-Qaida suspects, including an alleged British citizen, who were captured in separate raids in northwestern Pakistan, intelligence officials said on Wednesday. It wasn't clear if either of the arrests were linked to the May 2 capture in northwestern Pakistan of Abu Faraj al-Libbi, reputedly al-Qaida's No. 3 leader. The first man, identified only as Shahzad, was arrested late on Sunday in a raid by intelligence agents and police on a house in Shabqadar town, 25 kilometres (16 miles) north of the city of Peshawar. Officers also seized three computers, CDs and some documents, police said. Saleh Mohammed, an officer who took part in the raid said that the suspect was fluent in English, Pashtu and Farsi and seemed highly educated. An intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Shahzad was a "suspected al-Qaida facilitator" who said he had dual Pakistani and British citizenship. He said officials were investigating the man's claims. The British High Commission could not confirm the arrest, and said it was looking into the report. Police said Shahzad had remnants of shackles around his ankles and wounds on his knees, but the police official refused to speculate on whether the suspect may have escaped from custody somewhere. Villagers in Shabqadar said that Shahzad had been working in the local area as a preacher for the past year and had been living in their neighbour's house. The second arrest was made on Monday when intelligence agents stopped a vehicle on Peshawar's outskirts, said another intelligence official, who also declined to be named. He didn't reveal the identity or nationality of the suspect, but said he was a foreigner suspected of al-Qaida links. Earlier on Wednesday, agents in the eastern city of Lahore arrested two men who were initially thought to be members of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, an outlawed Sunni Muslim militant group, but they were later released.
