Alleged bin Laden aide arrested in Pakistan
With capture, official says forces ‘on the right track’ in hunt for al-Qaida leader


Abu Faraj al-Libbi, the al-Qaida suspected arrested in Pakistan, is seen here in a picture issued by the government last year.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - The man thought to be al-Qaida's operations commander, and who might know where Osama bin Laden is hiding, has been arrested in Pakistan, the government announced Wednesday.

The arrest of Abu Farraj al-Libbi, a Libyan who is also wanted in two attempts to assassinate Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, is seen by U.S. officials as significant because of his alleged control over the daily operations of al-Qaida.

When asked whether Pakistan was close to capturing bin Laden, Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said that "this arrest gives us a lot of tips, and I can only say that our security agencies are on the right track."

Why does Al-Qaeda always turn up just before important elections??
