Pakistan Arrests Senior Al-Qaeda Leader Amin ul Haq

Close aide to Osama bin Laden apprehended by counterterrorism police in Punjab province after years-long manhunt.

Amin ul Haq, a key al-Qaeda figure, was arrested in Punjab province by Pakistan's Counter-Terrorism Department.
Ul Haq, a former bodyguard and aide to Osama bin Laden, was involved in planning attacks and supplying arms to insurgents.
The arrest disrupted potential terrorist attacks in the region, according to Pakistani officials.
Pakistan has faced increased violence from militant groups, particularly since the Afghan Taliban's rise to power in 2021.
The arrest marks a significant breakthrough in Pakistan's ongoing efforts to combat terrorism.
