Rashid Rauf’s Friends Say ISI Agents Kidnapped Him

More propaganda coming out of Pakistan about the prison escape of British-Pakistani citizen and Al Qaeda operative Rashid Rauf — the alleged mastermind of the London Planes Plot of August 2006.

In "Pakistan agents 'staged escape' of terror suspect," The Sunday Times reports that according to Rashid Rauf's "friends," he was kidnapped by Pakistan's military intelligence and likely shot. This "fear" is echoed by Rauf's former cellmate, Khalid Khawaja, whom the Times describes as "a former Pakistan intelligence agent who counts Osama Bin Laden as a friend."
