Pakistan on Friday freed 2,500 Taliban and al Qaeda fighters who have been imprisoned as part of its deal with tribal leaders and Taliban forces in Waziristan.

Those released are said to include -- according to sources cited by Bill Roggio, a right-leaning counterterrorism expert -- senior al Qaeda operatives as well as foot soldiers and two men -- Mohammad Hashim Qadeerand Mohammad Bashir -- who were implicated in the murder of journalist Daniel Pearl.

Also released were Mansour Hasnain, who hijacked an Indian Airlines jet in 1999 and was a member of the group that kidnapped Pearl; Mohammad Khaled, a Taliban brigade leader who fought U.S. forces in Afghanistan; Fazl-e-Raziq, a senior aide to Osama Bin Laden; and Ghulam Mustafa, an al Qaeda logistics expert.
