Top Bin Laden Aide:"We Don't Kill Innocent People"
Apr 13, 2002
A top Al Qaeda official denied knowledge of who was behind the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States when interrogated shortly after his arrest here, Pakistani officials said Thursday.
Abu Zubaydah, 31, was among about 50 Al Qaida suspects arrested in this southern city March 28 in a joint U.S.-Pakistani operation.
A chief lieutenant of Usama bin Laden, he is the most important Al Qaida figure captured in the U.S.-led war on "terrorism".
Zubaydah, who was shot three times in the raid, was treated at Faisalabad's Allied Hospital for two days before being transferred to the eastern city of Lahore, Pakistani intelligence officials said on condition of anonymity.
From there, he was taken to an undisclosed location.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has confirmed Zubaydah is now in U.S. custody, but has refused to say where.
FBI officials briefly questioned Zubaydah in Lahore about bin Laden's whereabouts and those behind the Sept. 11 attacks, according to a senior Interior Ministry official who also declined to be identified.
The official said Zubaydah denied any knowledge of the attacks, telling his interrogators:
"We don't kill innocent people ... We only kill those who are killing our brothers and sisters."
More than 100 people have been rounded up in a series of raids in Pakistan in recent weeks, including some in which FBI and CIA agents took part.
The raids represent a major setback to efforts by Al Qaida to reorganize following the defeat of the Islamic extremist Taliban regime in Afghanistan late last year.
While some of those arrested have admitted links with bin Laden's lieutenants, Interior Ministry officials said none has provided information on the whereabouts of the chief suspect in the terrorist attacks.
Dozens of Pakistanis picked up in the raids have been released, and it is unclear how many Arab and other suspects remain in custody.
While Pakistan has played down American involvement in the arrests, some of those released said belongings seized during the raids were returned to them in packages with FBI markings.
Abdul Hameed Niazi, a college professor, was arrested the same night as Zubaydah but at a different house.
He was questioned for several days before he was released.
"The FBI asked many questions about Usama and Abu Zubaydah during the interrogations," said Niazi, who denies involvement with Al Qaida or any other extremist group.
Pakistani intelligence officials said Zubaydah was taken by surprise when security forces raided his house in the early hours.
Unarmed, the Saudi-born Palestinian ran to the roof with three other men, but Pakistani police were already there, a senior official said.
Zubaydah reportedly tried to win over police, saying "We are friends."
But as he spoke, a bodyguard stabbed an officer, prompting police to open fire, the official said.
All four suspects were injured.
One later died of his wounds.
Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Al Qaeda and Taliban members are believed to have fled Afghanistan and sought refuge in neighboring Pakistan with the help of extremist groups in this country.
Pakistan officials say more raids are planned.
