Pakistani officials says that Binalshibh was to be flown in U.S. custody to an undisclosed location tonight.

Authorities have not yet identified the two dead men, one a Pakistani and one an Arab, leading to intense speculation here that one of them may have been an even more important figure than Binalshibh.

Pakistani police officers at the scene insisted that one of the people killed in the firefight was Khalid Sheik Mohammed, a Pakistani national born in Kuwait, who has been described as the mastermind behind the Sept. 11 attacks. Pakistani intelligence officers, however, said they have no indication that the dead Pakistani, who offered fierce resistance before his death, is Mohammed. U.S. officials also said they did not believe that the dead man was Mohammed.

Both U.S. and Pakistani officials said they believed that Mohammed, if alive, was still in Karachi.
