Suspected Taliban commander arrested in Karachi: CID
Weapons were also seized from his possession.
According to Senior Superintendent Police (SSP) CID Operations Fayyaz Khan, Mehsud was associated with the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan faction.
The alleged Taliban commander was a close associate of the head of Tehree-e-Taliban Pakistan Baitullah Mehsud and Commander Faiz Muhammad.
SSP Fayyaz Khan said that during interrogation, the suspect revealed that Baitullah Mehsud had visited Karachi a few years ago for treatment.
He also claimed that Baitullah Mehsud stayed with him at his residence in Karachi.
According to CID police, the suspect is also involved in fund raising for Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and other terrorist activities in Waziristan.
Earlier this month, with the help of an informant, the anti-extremism cell of the Crime Investigation Department arrested seven suspects belonging to different banned outfits and gangs.

Well as I said earlier he will be released in 3 months, the news is that he has been released on bail in just THREE DAYS !!! Congratulations my friends !! one more BEAST to deal with
He is innocent and is framed by the Indians, US, and Israeli agents. This freedom fighter must be immediately released (Baizzat bari) with honor and no public record. A public apology along with generous restitution in cash is immediately paid. His family should be taken care of in his absence. Our courts are independent, hospitable and charitable to the soldiers of Islam who are fighting holy war. This is the least we can do keeping with our recent history while dealing with these fighters.
@ all , the mehsud has been released, CID has become Comedy Info dept. its in the news the CID cooked it to get fame , wat a pitty :(
Lets hand him over to people of SWAT for street justice.
Don't rejoice, he will be released within a couple of months because this is the track record of our courts, releasing the BEASTS honourably
@Sohail: Zawahiri previous hideout includes US, UK, Bosnia, Yemen, etc (Source: http://bit.ly/nksNNi ). They should try looking there first and question how he got immigration in US so quickly.
Taliban (real deal) or Tehreek-e-Taliban (fake & counter-gang with American radios and direct access to Reuters & AP)?
Hope he will not be set free and be executed for crimes against humanity.
well done now hang him along with every one who support talibans , remember one thing they are not at all indian or american agents. they are from our own country and we must wipe them off to ensure our security
I can bet my bottom dollar that despite of all the revelations made by this man, he will get away with this and will remain unpunished cuz such elements are being supported by few extremists such as General Hameed Gul and Imran Khan in our country. One thing should be clear upon all that tehreek-taliban pakistan is infact the association of Mulla Omar Led Afghan Talibans. there is no diffrence between the two. both of them are committed to destroy Pakistan's and Global peace.they are neither Raw's, CIA's or Mosad's Agent. they are operating independently to impose their ideology on others.
why those who killed hundreds of people in karachi recently are never caught?
When are we releasing him?
What? Another conspiracy to defame Karachi! Baitullah Masud is a Mossad agent!
Wont be surprised if Amal Al Zawahri is caught in Defence area!
