ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) -- Abu Farraj al-Libbi, a senior al-Qaida suspect wanted in two attempts to assassinate President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, has been arrested in Pakistan, the government said Wednesday.

Al-Libbi, a native of Libya who authorities say is a close associate of terror mastermind Osama bin Laden and acted as al-Qaida's operational chief in Pakistan, was arrested earlier this week, Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed told The Associated Press.(snip)

Dogs believed poisoned in Travis County neighborhood (TX)


Nearly a dozen dogs have died in recent weeks in one west Travis County neighborhood.


No one's exactly sure what's happening to the dogs at Austin Lake Estates.

Some owners suspect their pets have been poisoned. Dogs that were in seemingly good health have become violently ill and died within 24 hours.

Residents have posted flyers to warn others.

Residents describe it as a dog-friendly neighborhood where just about everyone owns a pet.

"It's a little unsettling. It's a pretty quiet neighborhood. Everybody knows each other and lets their dogs run around," says resident Stephen Putonti. "Now that something like this is going on, whenever I leave the house, I'll bring him in, just in case."

Any suspicious incidents should be reported to the Travis County Sheriff's Office at 974-0845.
