The CTD officer said that a case had been registered against Haq.
Authorities would investigate what he was doing in Pakistan.
“He was seen in Afghanistan in 2021. He also has Pakistan’s ID Card, on which Lahore and Haripur’s addresses have been provided,” the CTD officer added.
As Osama bin Laden’s ‘close aide’ arrested in Gujrat, it is important to note that the United States troops carried out a raid on bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, in 2011 and killed Osama Bin Laden, who was also the mastermind of deadly 9/11 attacks.
