What's new is intel that the Saudi Arab that was also captured was none other than Abu Qais, right-hand to Ayman al Zawahiri

Is this confirmed?

[Straight Vermonter]

This story is 2 years old. I don’t think there was ever any US confirmation.

U.S. forces said they grabbed a “key insurgent leader” in a joint raid with Afghan police Friday in a village in eastern Ghazni province. No shots were fired in the raid, the statement said.

The captured man is responsible for the deaths of Afghan troops, bomb attacks on coalition forces and the kidnapping of aid workers, according to the statement. A spokesman declined to give further information on the leader’s identity while they search for his confederates.
