Police on Tuesday arrested a suspected Taleban activist in Balochistan. A Kalashnikov rifle with ammunition, a mobile phone and a Thuraya satellite phone were seized as well as some documents, police said, indicating the detainee may have links with senior members of the ousted Afghan regime. "We are scanning telephone numbers on the Thuraya to determine if the man had been in touch with Taleban leaders," police officer Raoof Bareach told AFP.
