| FoxNews reports that Ramzi bin al-Shibh is in custoday in Pakland. Somebody's $25 million richer. I'll be outside ululating and handing out candy for the next hour... Followup: CNN's got it now... Ramzi Binalshibh, one of the most wanted al Qaeda operatives by the U.S. government, has been captured and is in the hands of Pakistani authorities, U.S. government officials told CNN Friday. Further details about his capture were not immediately available. Oh, that tells us a lot more... And now they've got some more up... Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf told CNN Friday that Pakistani authorities conducted an operation two days ago that netted 10 al Qaeda suspects, including an "important" person, although he could not confirm it was Binalshibh. Toldja it was a muckety-muck... 'Course, Perv doesn't actually confirm that this is the raid that actually snagged him... "They were living in a residential area. The place was raided and there was a shootout," Musharraf said in an interview to be broadcast Sunday on CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer." "Two of the al Qaeda members were killed and 10 arrested." Musharraf said the 10 captured al Qaeda suspects include one Egyptian, one Saudi and eight Yemenis. |
