Point person for Bacha Khan University attack arrested
Last week in Nowshera, a city in Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, Pakistani intelligence agencies arrested “Terrorist A,” Waheed Ali, in connection to his leadership in carrying out the deadly attack at Bacha Khan University in Charsadda on Jan. 20 (Dawn). Believed to be in his early 30s, the man had shaved his beard and was preparing to flee the country into Afghanistan before he was detained. In his statement, Waheed said the attack planning had occurred for six months in the Achin district of Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province and was overseen by Umar Mansoor (also known as Omar Naray), a Pakistani Taliban commander in KP. Waheed was the latest arrest made in connection to the Bacha Khan attack. Five others identified as facilitators are in custody.
