ISLAMABAD Police claim to have arrested a Taliban commander, Mohammad Rafique, in connection with the attempted bombing of a police station in the city, the capital police told media November 16.
A senior police official told the BBC that the suspect, a close associate of Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud, is from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and wanted to blow up the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) office.
The suspect delivered hefty legal tomes to a police officer at the CIA, but examination showed the books to be full of explosives, police said.
Authorities relied on a facial sketch, drawn up with the help of the books’ recipient, to capture the suspect, police told media.
