Salman Ashraf’s Father doesn’t believe that He has a Role in Time Square Plot
Rana Ashraf Khan, the father Salman Ashraf, was shocked by the arrest of his son in Pakistan, according to CNN.
Who will not get mad after knowing that his son was arrested after missing for 12 days? Khan was very mad when he was asked about his son. “I refute it outright,” Khan said. “It is a very wicked accusation. He is not the type of guy who would ever think of involving himself in any criminal activity.” The father knows better his son. Khan said that Salman had no terror links but could not rule out that he may have met Faisal Shahzad, the Pakistani-American charged with trying to blow up Times Square on May 1. He further told the AFP, “My son used to visit different places personally to oversee arrangements for functions and he might have met him somewhere. It has been made an issue unnecessarily,”
However, a U.S official stated that his son, Ashraf had been talking to the Taliban about pointing out the Pakistani military and other VIPs at diplomatic and other government events. The Hanif Rajput catering company will only be used as a cover for planning attack in Pakistan. The plot is seemed to be discovered by the U.S officials and they knew that Pakistan is going to be the target.
It was during the Times Square investigation that the Hanif Rajput Catering was discovered, and they are now searching if it has any connection with the Pakistani Taliban.
American citizens are now being warned about the Islamabad caterer and they were advised not to use this company.
Khan said that their family is now suffering from mental trauma and their businesses were badly affected.
