Terror suspects' photos shown

Musharraf identified the main suspect as Abu Faraj al-Libbi, a Libyan national. The government had not published a photo of him until yesterday.

Al-Libbi appears in the photo with a short beard, wearing a Western suit and tie. The photograph is above a 20 million rupee reward offer, or $344,800.

The other suspects, all identified as Pakistan's ''most wanted terrorists," are Mati-ur Rehman, Amjad Hussain, Qari Ehsan, Omar Aqdas, and Mansoor, whose alias is Chota Ibrahim. All are Pakistani and known to be linked with Pakistan's Lashkar-e-Jhangvi militant group.

It was not clear what the other five men are wanted for or what role, if any, they had in the assassination attempts.

The advertisements promised anonymity for any informants and gave phone numbers and e-mail addresses to contact authorities. Some posters were printed in English and some in Urdu, Pakistan's other official language.

Hussain, best known as Amjad Hussain Farooqi, is also wanted for his part in the 2002 kidnapping and beheading of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. In some accounts, Hussain recruited three Yemenis for the task and supervised it. In others, he carried out the butchery himself.

Hussain is also believed linked to Al Qaeda's former No. 3, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks who was arrested in Pakistan in March 2003, and to two Pakistani militant groups, Lashkar-e-Jangvi and Jaish-e-Mohammed. The reward for Hussain is identical to that for Libbi.

''Al-Libbi and Farooqi were the masterminds of the attacks against Musharraf," said Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, the information minister.

Musharraf was not hurt in either attack, but 17 people died in the second attempt on his life, when terrorists tried to blow up his motorcade on a road near the capital, Islamabad.
