Islamabad - Pakistan has arrested a key Egyptian al-Qaeda operative who holds a senior position within the terrorist network, a security official said on Wednesday.
The official, asking to remain anonymous, identified the suspect as Sharif Al-Misri and said his capture carried a significant reward.
"He is one of the top operators in al-Qaeda's hierarchy," said the official.
Sheikh Rashid, who is due to be sworn in as information minister later on Wednesday, confirmed to AFP that Al-Misri and another al-Qaeda suspect had been detained.
The security official said the pair were arrested on Sunday in Quetta, the capital of south-western Baluchistan province which borders Afghanistan and Iran. - Sapa-AFP

I have him as Abu Mohammed al-Misri who commanded Al Qaeda training camps in Afganistan pre-war. He is a big capture...

We couldn't just 'get' Osama. We've got to capture a few smaller ones first to make it look real, lol.

Al-Misri and another al-Qaeda suspect had been detained. One might say that Al-Misri has company.
To: Dog
Wonder if Iran(note the location)
plays into where he's been hiding?
To: Dog
You mean we THINK we know.
