Al Qaeda leader 'in secret CIA jail'

A SUSPECTED al Qaeda leader, accused of being involved in September 11 and planning the 2004 Madrid train bombings, has been imprisoned in a secret US jail for the past year, Spain's El Pais newspaper reported today.

Mustafa Setmarian, 48, a Syrian with Spanish citizenship, was captured in Pakistan in October 2005 and is held in a prison operated by the US Central Intelligence Agency, Pakistani and European security service officials told El Pais.

A spokesman for the US embassy in Spain declined to comment on the report.

Setmarian's 2005 capture was reported in May of this year after the United States put a $5 million bounty on the head of the alleged founder of al Qaeda's Spanish network.

A photograph of the red-haired Setmarian has been removed from the US Federal Bureau of Intelligence's most-wanted web page.

Pakistan has not answered requests from Madrid about the whereabouts of Setmarian, wanted in Spain for allegedly training September 11 hijackers in Afghanistan and ordering Madrid commuter train attacks that killed 191 people, according to El Pais.

Reminds me of the mime who was caught picking pockets in New Orleans.

"Who makes up this stuff? The MSM portrays the matter as if his captors are the enemy and we're in danger with him off the streets. Crazy."

That's why we don't listen to these POS people (MSM) any more.

Is there any website that keeps track of who is and who is not dead in the AQ network?

All you need to know is that we have killed every member of AQ except the #2 man. And there are lots and lots of #2 men.
