Osama’s aide flown out of Pakistan

PESHAWAR: A suspected longtime aide to Osama bin Laden has been handed over to American authorities and flown out of Pakistan, a Pakistani official said on Monday.

Adil Al-Jazeeri was blindfolded with his hands tied behind his back while he was taken to an American plane in Peshawar late on Sunday night in Peshawar, the intelligence official said on the condition of anonymity.

The official said he believed the Al Qaeda suspect was flown to Bagram, an American forces base in Afghanistan.

Pakistan officials believe Al-Jazeeri, arrested in Pakistan last month, is a ranking member of Al Qaeda.

“He was interrogated here. He is among the important people of Al Qaeda. Useful information can be obtained from him during further investigation,” the official said.
