My obsession with 'thanklessness' may be...Pakistani authorities have handed over to the United States a man thought to be the biggest catch yet in the war on terrorism: Abu Zubaydah, a senior al-Qaida leader believed to be leading an attempt to reconstitute the group in Afghanistan (news - web sites). U.S. and Pakistani authorities think the man is Zubaydah after several of his former associates identified him from photographs, a U.S. official said Sunday. He would be the highest-ranking leader in the terrorist organization to fall into American hands since the Sept. 11 attacks. "All signs point to the fact" that one of the men captured by Pakistani authorities in raids last week is the terrorist leader, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The man was shot several times by Pakistanis as he tried to escape one of the raids, the official said. He has been receiving medical treatment, but his current condition is unclear, the official said. He was transferred to U.S. custody over the weekend. Zubaydah, as a senior al-Qaida operational planner, would plot attacks based on guidance from Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) and his inner circle. Zubaydah would contact the cells in the field to conduct them, authorities have said.
