ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - Five people, including two
police officers, have been arrested on suspicion they
helped a British suspect in an alleged plot to blow up
trans-Atlantic jetliners escape from police custody,
the Pakistani interior minister said Tuesday.

Britain has been seeking Rashid Rauf's extradition, both
to question him as a “key person” in the airplane plot
and as a suspect in the 2002 killing of his uncle. He
has denied involvement in both cases.

Rauf slipped out the back door of a mosque after tricking
police into stopping to let him pray on the way back to
jail following a court appearance in Islamabad Saturday
on Britain's extradition request, police said.

1. This is getting comical.

Most obvious double-agent I've ever seen. Or, else, someone wants to get Rauf killed by militants who are clearly thinking the same thing.
