 | Questionable | Wife may have also been detained in raid, but this may not square with statements that only two women were arrested; one is Cossor Ali, but reports also say the wives of Amin Tariq and Waheed Arafat Kahn were detained. It is possible that one of the women was not in fact arrested.3 |
