KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - A top al-Qaida leader whose links stretch
from Osama bin Laden's training camps to extremist networks in Europe
has been captured in Pakistan, a U.S. law enforcement official confirms
for the first time.

Pakistani officials also told The Associated Press that Mustafa Setmarian
Nasar, a dual Syrian-Spanish national with a $5 million U.S. bounty
on his head, had been flown out of the country to an unspecified location.

Nasar was captured in a November sting in the southwestern Pakistani city
of Quetta that left one person dead, the American official said on condition
of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. The official spoke
to the AP late last week.

1. Another No. 2...

What are we up to, like 35 No. 2s captured? Al-Qaeda has more No. 2s than the Papermate factory.

2. Al-Qaeda must be kind of like a large bank, where

almost everybody is a vice president. There must be dozens and dozens of "top al-Qaeda leaders."
