Pakistani authorities have arrested Amin Ul-Haq, a close associate of Al-Qaeda founder Osama Bin Laden, in Gujrat, Punjab. Ul-Haq was accused of planning sabotage activities and targeting key installations in the country. The arrest marks a significant victory in global counter-terrorism efforts, according to Punjab's Counter Terrorism Department. Listed by the US, EU, and UN as an Al-Qaeda associate, Ul-Haq resurfaced after NATO's withdrawal from Afghanistan and attempted to reorganize Al-Qaeda. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has launched a new military campaign to curb escalating violence along the Afghan border, amidst strained relations with Kabul over militancy issues.
