Karachi Six
From WikiAlpha
The Karachi Six were six men captured on September 11, 2002, in Karachi, Pakistan, by a mixed force of CIA and Pakistani security officials.[1] Initially US intelligence officials claimed that the men were al Qaeda members, plotting a future attack.
According to Courthouse News Service:
- Though the United States initially suspected that the six were involved with an al-Qaida cell plotting a future attack, the case has failed to get off the ground for 14 years for lack of evidence. As documented in the detainee's unclassified profile, U.S. has tempered its claims about the Karachi 6 in recent years, describing them now as low-level al-Qaida fighters.[2]
