This guy was rooming free since than. All liberals can be asked as to why Mr Clinton did not take the war to them. Mr. Bush has shifted the theatre of war to where it belongs that is the 'Arab hinterland' not surrounds of down town Manhattan. Buqabba killings are killings of thier own brethren and Alqaeda is now on self destruct path, this is the true strategy of Bush. > Pakistan has arrested Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a Tanzanian al-Qaida suspect wanted by the United States 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.

Pakistan arrests top al-Qaeda suspect July 30, 2004 - 7:20AM <What Clinton could not do Bush 'war on terror allies' this is the coalition US needed;;> Pakistan has arrested a Tanzanian al-Qaeda suspect with a $US5 million ($A7.17 million) bounty on his head for the deadly 1998 bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, the interior minister said. Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, who is on the FBI's most wanted list, was arrested on Sunday after a 12-hour shootout in the eastern city of Gujrat along with at least 15 others, Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayyat told Pakistan's Geo television. "This is a big success," Hayyat said. "As a result of our investigation, it became clear that he was a major figure wanted for the bombings." Brigadier Javed Iqbal Cheema, who is in charge of coordinating Pakistan's counterterrorism effort, told The Associated Press that Ghailani's wife, an Uzbek woman, was also arrested, along with several of his children. It was not clear if the suspects were planning any attacks in Pakistan or simply using the country to hide out. "They had arrived in Gujrat recently but we don't know where they came from or they got into the country," Cheema said. Advertisement Advertisement Hayyat said Ghailani was being held at an undisclosed location in Pakistan, but indicated he might be turned over to US authorities after investigations are completed. An intelligence official told AP he was being held at a facility in the eastern city of Lahore. The United States had offered a $US5 million reward for information leading to Ghailani's arrest. Earlier reports put the bounty on Ghailani at $US25 million. He was under indictment in the United States for the bombings in Tanzania and Kenya, which killed 219 people, including 12 Americans. He is suspected of buying the truck used as the vehicle bomb in the attack on the US 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 US nationals outside the United States, conspiracy to murder US nationals outside the United States, 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-Qaeda suspects that the FBI and Justice Department asked for help in finding in May to help avert a possible terror attack over the northern summer in the United States. Pakistan had said earlier that some of the 16 suspects arrested on Sunday were from Africa, but had not said whether they were linked to al-Qaeda. The suspects were captured by police and intelligence agents during a raid on a house in the industrial city of Gujrat. Authorities also recovered two AK-47 rifles, plastic explosives, two computers, computer diskettes and a "large amount" of foreign currency at the home, where the suspects had moved last month. Cheema said the raid in Gujrat was carried out on information from a suspected Pakistani militant who was arrested in a separate operation in eastern Punjab province. Pakistan, which became a key ally of the United States in its war on terror after the September 11, 2001 attacks in America, has so far arrested more than 500 al-Qaeda suspects from different parts of the country. They included al-Qaeda's 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 US officials. Ramzi Binalshibh and Abu Zubaydah, two other al-Qaeda leaders, were also arrested in Pakistan. Al-Qaeda 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.
