Intelligence officials who have been questioning Abu Faraj al-Libbi, the senior al-Qa'eda suspect arrested last week, have cast doubt over claims by the Pakistani prime minister, Shaukat Aziz, that the interrogation is "proceeding well".
The officials say that al-Libbi, who is believed to be al-Qaeda's number three, has defied efforts to make him reveal valuable intelligence about its senior hierarchy, despite coming under "physical pressure" to do so.
More than a dozen low-key al-Qa'eda targets were arrested in Pakistan last week thanks to information stored on al-Libbi's satellite telephone. Yet early hopes among both American and Pakistani intelligence officials that he would tell them the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawihiri, were dashed.
One senior intelligence official told The Telegraph: "So far he has not told us anything solid that could lead to the high-value targets. It is too early to judge whether he is a hard nut to crack, or simply that he doesn't know more than he has told us."
Al-Libbi had been beaten and injected with the so-called "truth drug", sodium pentothal, said the official. "They have tried all possible methods, from the 'third degree' to injecting him with a truth serum but it is hard to break him," he said.
In time, the officials hope that al-Libbi, 28, will tell them about forthcoming attacks, al-Qaeda's funding and its sophisticated coded communications network.
Mr Aziz said yesterday: "Certainly al-Libbi is a senior member of al-Qaeda, and we were on the look-out for him for a while."

I bet someone else might be able to gently pry info from the subhuman. Mossad, anyone? Anyone, Ferris?
Send Jack Bauer over there, put a couple rounds in him and he'll talk.
I wonder if Agent Jack Bauer's approach of blowing off a kneecap might help?
Arghhhh! Beat me to it!
There's only one solution. It is severe, and should not be attempted unless in case of the utmost need, but we have that here. It is barbaric, but these are barbaric times.
They need to put panties on his head.
May our children one day forgive us.
The Paki's probably trained Jack Bauer in this stuff. He's just delaying the inevitable. They always talk.
Right. Why would we release this kind of info? Fiction.
Well, they shall proceed to the fourth degree then. Hook him to an air compressor and inflate him a bit more.
Show him nude pictures of the women of the DNC. He'd give up information other people know. I know it's drastic, but they're terrorists.
Strip the guy, spread eagle him and spray him up with some of whatever makes sows smell good to boars, and bring insome old 400-lb Arkansas razorback hog and let Porky have at him while the cameras roll, and tell the guy he either talks or his village gets the film...
I'm just glad to know I'm not the only one who thought of it. I wish we could actually do that here.
Helen Thomas in a negligee?
FWIW-
He must be void of truth.
Call Mr. Louis Ashbat. "He" usually gets results. Ruby E. Hose may work also.

Well just hearing Pelosi on the news the other night was enough to make me physically ill.
Truth serum Ping !!!!
As Emeril says..."Pork Fat Rules"!
