Highland 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2005 SLAMABAD, Pakistan — Abu Farraj al-Libbi (search), a senior Al Qaeda suspect wanted in two attempts to assassinate President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, has been arrested in Pakistan, the government said Wednesday. Al-Libbi, a native of Libya with a $1 million bounty on his head, was arrested earlier this week, Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed told The Associated Press. "This is a very important day for us," Ahmed said. He would provide no details on where al-Libbi was captured, or where he is being held. Officials said earlier Wednesday that they were questioning two foreigners on suspicion of links with Al Qaeda (search). Two security officials who spoke on condition of anonymity said the suspects were captured after a shootout Monday in Mardan, about 30 miles north of Peshawar (search), capital of the deeply conservative North West Frontier Province. "They are in the custody of a Pakistani intelligence agency," one official said. He declined to give more details, including the suspects' nationalities. Al-Libbi is accused of masterminding two bombings against Musharraf in December 2003. The military leader escaped injury but 17 others were killed. Musharraf, a key ally in the U.S.-led war on terrorism, has said the Libyan was the chief suspect in the bombings against him. Security officials have described Al-Libbi as Al Qaeda's operational commander in Pakistan. Al-Libbi was among six suspects identified as Pakistan's "Most Wanted Terrorists" in a poster campaign last year. That joke is so 2004. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now if Osama is ever demoted in command, we've totally got him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, when you capture one "number 3 man," then "number 4 man" gets promoted. And then you capture that person, hence anohter "number 3 man..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2005 I was just wondering what happens to these high ranking Al Qaeda guys when their usefulness in reguards to intelligence gathering ends? Are they sent to prison, or just taken out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
