Pakistani authorities have arrested Amin ul Haq, a senior Al-Qaeda leader and close associate of Osama bin Laden. The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) conducted an intelligence-based operation in Sarai Alamgir, Gujrat district, Punjab province, resulting in Haq's capture. He is designated a global terrorist by the United Nations. The arrest is seen as a significant breakthrough in counter-terrorism efforts. Haq's capture has foiled a large-scale terrorism project, according to officials. An investigation is underway. The CTD has confirmed the arrest, but further details have not been released. Haq's arrest marks a major blow to Al-Qaeda's operations.
