Pakistan toughens restrictions against protests.(The Dallas Morning News)
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan _ Pakistani authorities took new steps to quell unrest Thursday, arresting a leading opposition politician and toughening prohibitions against religious protests amid rising public discomfort with the government's support of the U.S.-led military action in Afghanistan.
Within hours, a letter attributed to Osama bin Laden and released to Arab satellite television station Al-Jazeera in Yemen condemned Pakistan's government and called on the country's Muslims to resist what he termed a Christian crusade
Also Thursday, Pakistani authorities began a nationwide manhunt for a key suspect in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks after he apparently entered the country from Afghanistan.
The suspect, Said Bahaji, 26, was believed to have returned to Pakistan for a Tuesday flight from Karachi to Istanbul, Turkey. Officials told the Associated Press that he did not show up for the flight but is thought to be still hiding in Karachi. German authorities have said he had close contacts with hijackers who crashed commercial airliners into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11.
Also Thursday, U.S. warplanes continued airstrikes for a 25th day, and the Turkish government announced plans to send a contingent of 90 special-forces troops to train opposition fighters in northern Afghanistan.
