U.S.-Born al Qaeda Arrest News Found False Detained Taliban Militant's Identify Verified, Ending Confusion Over Reports of Adam Gadahn's Detention in Pakistan
(CBS) An "important Taliban militant" was arrested today in Pakistan. But that is where the confusion started.
Earlier it was reported by Pakistani media that intelligence agents had arrested Adam Gadahn, the American-born spokesman for al Qaeda, in an operation in the southern city of Karachi.
It was further reported by the Associated Press and Reuters that Gadahn had been arrested, sourcing security officials.
CBS News was told by sources in the Pakistan government that it was Gadahn, even after U.S. officials refused to confirm it was the California native for whom a $1 million reward has been posted.

That is said every time a drug dealer is taken off the street....irony.....kind of fits with the mind set of treating terrorists like criminals by this lametard Jack Squat administration.
If it is not true............then the Pakistanis have burned us once again.
Yep....all in good time...nice smokescreen.
I agree. All this means simply is that ISI doesn’t take Zero and his people seriously and in keeping them out of the loop, ISI is running their own show and Zero’s people are more of a problem than an aid. This is a big change from when Bush was around.
