- ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan's
interior minister on Sunday denied reports that suspected September 11
mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed had been handed over to the United States
and said he was still in Pakistan.

- "Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is in the custody of Pakistan's
law enforcement agencies and until we have satisfied ourselves, after the
interrogation process, of the nature of his activities in Pakistan, there
is no question of handing him over to anyone," Faisal Saleh Hayat
told Reuters.

identified, said Khalid had been handed over to US custody shortly after
his arrest, along with two other Al-Qaeda suspects, on Saturday in the
Pakistani city of Rawalpindi.
