Pak Army questions four majors over brigadier's links to terror group

Islamabad, June 22 (ANI): The Pakistan Army is reportedly questioning four majors in connection with a brigadier who was detained over links to the banned Hizbut Tehrir group.

The Dawn quoted Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director-General Major General Athar Abbas, as saying that the majors being questioned had not been detained.

"They are being questioned in relation to the brigadier case," he said.

The arrest of the brigadier - the highest-ranking officer held in a decade - has raised fears about the growth in the military of the group which sees Pakistan as a powerful base for the establishment of an Islamic Caliphate. (ANI)
