ISLAMABAD (AP)--Pakistan has arrested Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a Tanzanian al-Qaida suspect wanted by the U.S. in the dual 1998 bombings at U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, the interior minister said Friday. Ghailani - who is on the FBI's list of 22 most wanted terrorists, with a $5 million reward on his head - was arrested Sunday in the eastern city of Gujrat along with at least 15 others, Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayyat said. "This is a big success," Hayyat told Pakistan's Geo television network. "He was arrested a few days ago in an operation by security agencies in Gujrat." "As a result of our investigation, it became clear that he was a major figure wanted for the bombings," Hayyat said. He said Ghailani was in Pakistani custody but indicated he might be turned over to U.S. authorities after investigations are completed. Ghailani is under indictment in the U.S. for the embassy bombings, which killed more than 200 people, including 12 Americans. He is suspected of buying the truck used as the vehicle bomb in the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in which 12 people were killed. He could face the death penalty if convicted of the charges, which include murder of U.S. nationals outside the U.S., conspiracy to murder U.S. nationals outside the U.S., and attack on a federal facility resulting in death. Ghailani, who also goes by the names "Foopie," "Fupi" and "Ahmed the Tanzanian," was also one of seven wanted al-Qaida suspects that the FBI and Justice Department asked for help in finding in May to help avert a possible terror attack over the summer in the U.S. Pakistan had said earlier that some of the 16 suspects arrested Sunday were from Africa, but had not said whether they were linked to al-Qaida. The suspects were captured by police and intelligence agents during a raid on a house in the Industrial city of Gujrat early Sunday after a 12-hour long shootout. The authorities also recovered two AK-47 rifles, plastic chemicals, two computers, computer diskettes, and a "large amount" of foreign currency at the home, where the suspects had moved last month. An intelligence official said on the condition of anonymity that the raid was carried out on information from a suspected Pakistani militant who was arrested in a separate raid in the eastern Punjab province. Pakistan, which became a key ally of the U.S. in its war on terror after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in America, has so far arrested more than 500 al-Qaida suspects from different parts of the country. They included al-Qaida No. 3 leader, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, who was arrested in March 2003 during a raid in Rawalpindi, a city near Islamabad. Almost all the foreign suspects, including Mohammed, were later handed over to the U.S. officials. Ramzi Binalshibh and Abu Zubaydah, two other al-Qaida leaders, were also arrested in Pakistan. Al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden and his right hand man, Ayman al-Zawahri, are believed to be hiding in the rugged tribal frontier between Pakistan and Afghanistan, but there has been no hard evidence on their whereabouts.
