Top al Qaeda operative caught in Pakistan
Saturday, March 1, 2003 Posted: 2:04 PM EST (1904 GMT)


Khalid Shaikh Mohammed graduated from North Carolina A&T in 1986.


ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- The man linked to nearly every al Qaeda terrorist attack in the last 10 years -- including the September 11, 2001 attacks -- was among three suspected al Qaeda operatives arrested Saturday in a house in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, coalition intelligence forces confirmed to CNN.

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed was among three suspected al Qaeda members arrested by FBI agents and Pakistani security authorities and taken to the nearby capital of Islamabad on Saturday.

Mohammed's al Qaeda roots run deep and wide. He is believed to have been involved in the terrorist organization since the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.

Mohammed, a Kuwaiti national, was indicted in the United States in 1996 for his alleged involvement in a Philippines-based conspiracy to bomb commercial U.S. airliners. That indictment landed him on the FBI's list of 22 Most Wanted Terrorists, issued in October 2001.

Al Qaeda leader Abu Zubaydah, who is in U.S. custody, has named Mohammed as a key financial figure in the September 11 terrorist attacks.
