Al-Libbi was arrested along with another foreigner after a firefight on the outskirts of Mardan, a rough and tumble town 30 miles north of Peshawar, capital of the deeply conservative North West Frontier Province, officials said.

Villagers in the Mardan suburb of Shahdand Baba told Associated Press Television News that a small team of Pakistani security agency officers pounced as two men rode by motorbike across a dusty graveyard.

One man was captured quickly, while another, who was dressed in the all-encompassing burqa worn by women in conservative Islamic families, managed to escape temporarily. He fled to a big home of Mardan resident Zakir Khan.

Pakistani intelligence agents "came in through our roof. They told me, 'We are chasing a man who is hiding in your house," Khan said. "We gave them permission to come in. One man was hiding in the guest quarters and they found him there. He was a fat man with a long beard and a fair complexion. They arrested him."
