The top deputy of al Qaeda number two-man Ayman Al-Zawahiri has been arrested, according to "Islamist sources in London" cited by the Middle Eastern Media Research Institute on Thursday. "Abdallah Muhammed Rajab Abd al-Rahman, aka Ahmad Hassan Abu Al-Khir, who is in charge of al Qaeda finances and the right hand man of Ayman Al Zawahiri, has been arrested," MEMRI said.
"Abu Al-Khir was previously sentenced to death in absentia in Egypt," the news service said, based on translations of a report earlier this week in the London-based newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat.
In an audiotape released two weeks ago, Al Zawahiri warned of new al Qaeda attacks against the U.S. and boasted, "The American collapse has started to become a reality ... in Afghanistan. The forces of Islam and Jihad are starting to chase the crusaders and the hypocrites of Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, and the Arab peninsula."

Their source here is MEMRI, which is valuable for translations of material from Arabic to English, but I'm sure how reliable MEMRI is considered as a source of information. It's probably a good idea to wait for confirmation before we get overoptimistic.
But if we really do have him, holy smokes, what a catch. I guarantee you this dirtbag knows whether or not Bin Laden is really alive or dead, and where his commonly used hideouts are if it's the former.

The big fish is El Zawahiri not Bin Laden. If we can get this guy, there could be no limit to how much pain we should subject him to. We should poor pig blood on his ugly face, and keep blasting Christian prayers in his cell for weeks before we kill him!

I agree. But I'm sure its all a big conspiracy and that we've already got Bin Laden and Al Zawahiri and that Bush is waiting to release the news as an election suprise.

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder how he endorses his checks. Better not have really big handwriting...

Well.....you've gotta understand Islamic writing looks like third grade scribbling.
Even if you understood Arabic...you probably couldn't make heads or tails of what they were saying.

I don't see how they keep up with the names either -- cannot even pronounce most of them.
This could be huge!
