LAHORE, Pakistan, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- Amin al-Haq, 48, an Afghan-born doctor described as a security coordinator for al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, reportedly has been arrested in Pakistan.
Haq was arrested in Lahore, Pakistan's second largest city and capital of its Punjab province, The Nation reported Monday quoting Afghan sources. Haq, apparently captured two days ago, was reported undergoing police interrogation.
There has been no official Pakistani confirmation of the arrest, other reports said.
Haq was described as a leading al-Qaida fugitive from Afghanistan and a close associate of late Afghan jihadi leader Maulvi Younas Khalis.
Haq was a member of an Afghan delegation that went to Sudan in 1996 to bring bin Laden to Afghanistan, the report said. After bin Laden's arrival in Afghanistan, Haq became close to him, the report said.
Haq is the second leading al-Qaida operative from Afghanistan apprehended in Lahore, the report said. Earlier, Mohammad Rahim, described as Osama's driver in Afghanistan, was also arrested in Lahore, the report said.
