A Pakistani war criminal has been arrested in Canada

One of 30 suspected war criminals hiding in the Greater Toronto area was arrested a day after the federal government released their photos. The Canadian Border Service Agency (CBSA) learned that Arshad Muhammad, also known as Certosa Aranci and Muhammad Arshad, was nabbed by Peel Regional Police after a customer in a Factory Tile Depot store in Mississauga recognized him from a newspaper story. The Sun, which published a photo and description of the Pakistan native - last reported to be in Montreal - was singled out for praise one day earlier by federal Public Safety Minister Vic Toews for alerting the government to the refusal by the CBSA to release photos and seek public help in nabbing accused war criminals. Another wanted man pictured in the Sun, Cristobal Gonzalez-Ramirez, 44, of Honduras, was captured by CBSA agents after authorities received numerous public tips. All of the men on the list Toews had released are sought for various unspecified crimes against humanity.
