KARACHI: Intelligence agencies have foiled a plot to assassinate President Pervez Musharraf by arresting some members of Al Qaeda from Karachi's Malir area, and seizing a large amount of ammunition from their possession, sources told Online. The sources said that Qaeda members told interrogators that they were plotting to kill Pervez Musharraf during his next trip to Karachi. The terrorists had planned to blow up the entire bridge on Drig Road at the precise moment when Musharraf's convoy was to reach there while coming from the airport to Shahrah-e-Faisal, sources said, adding that two more attacks were planned in case Musharraf survived the first one. The terrorists also told interrogators that their plans would be carried out despite their arrest as the group had been divided into smaller groups to execute their tasks. online
