PAKISTAN’S intelligence service has arrested the owner of a safe house rented to the CIA to observe Osama bin Laden’s compound before the US raid that killed the al-Qaida leader, as well as a “handful” of other Pakistanis.

The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility today for a pre-dawn attack on tankers carrying fuel to Afghanistan for US and other Nato forces, vowing to continue raiding supply lines in Pakistan until they are shut down completely.

THE release of some 91,000 secret US military documents on the Afghanistan war is just the beginning, WikiLeaks’ founder Julian Assange promised yesterday, adding that he still has thousands more Afghan files to post online.

In the days before his failed attempt to detonate a car bomb in the heart of Times Square, the American suspect, who had recently returned from his native Pakistan, did a dry run, a law enforcement official said today.
