dear samer, initialy efforts were made by Saudi forces to get them out.during the operation Qabza group had denied all efforts and of course they had weapons i mean auto weapons and other ammunition. later all MUFTEE agreed and reminded the govt and Qabza group that KAABA is a place where we cannot have fight and it is a place of absolute peace. We Pakistanies were equally worried about the incident like all other Umma.our Army thought of getting them out without fighting but how. our forces reached on this solution by the grace of Allah. Qabza group's aim or purpose is not known to me. we only know what Saudi govt has stated.the plan was executed. water was filled at basement where people of Qabza group were hiding and electric shocks were passed ( not the continous electric current) thus they could not stay hiding and had no place except to be out of water. they came out. arrested and handed over to Saudi authorities. what all was done to them and how, that is Saudi dealings i cannot comment any thing on that. i hope i satisfy u. this what i can recall. Allah may forgive me if i have quoted any thing wrong because i have quoted all to the best of my memory. long time has passed now and i m also into my mid sixties.
thanks uncle
