Key Sept. 11 Figure Binalshibh Captured in Pakistan
Fri Sep 13, 7:32 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Ramzi Binalshibh, wanted by Germany for allegedly planning and helping to carry out the Sept. 11 hijacked plane attacks on the United States, has been captured in Pakistan, U.S. officials said on Friday.

His capture came just days after a journalist with al-Jazeera Arabic satellite television said he interviewed Binalshibh in Pakistan. Binalshibh and another key al Qaeda member reportedly affirmed that Osama bin Laden ( news - web sites) was personally involved in planning the Sept. 11 attacks that killed about 3,000 people.

U.S. officials have said the Yemeni national, who was refused a visa into the United States at least four times before Sept. 11, wanted to join the 19 hijackers involved in last year's attack.
