KARACHI: Pakistani security forces along with help of US intelligence arrested Abu Yahya Mujahdeen Al- Adam, who is a close associate of Osama Bin Laden. Abu Yahya was arrested on Sunday from an area surrounding the super highway, on the outskirts of Karachi.
Sources confirmed that the arrested militant commander has been shifted to Islamabad for further investigation.
Pennsylvania-born Abu Yahya is a US citizen and assumed to be a commander of foreign militants fighting in Afghanistan against the US. His name is included in the top ten wanted on the CIA list.

Cheers!
They’re all in Karachi. How many years have I been saying this now?
Once upon a time, in a land far away, there were no airplanes or ships. All of the peoples who were of that religion stayed in their countries and left the rest of the world alone.

Good news, many threads.
They probably are new to Karachi for the most part. The drone war and Paki assault on SWAT and S Waziristan has driven the rats out of their home area where they were protected by the local Taliban. Once they get into Karachi, they may be able to hide out in plain site in a city of 10 million or so. However, they lose a very imporatnat advantage and that is nobody dares rat them out in the tribal areas. In Karachi, criminal gangs are in charge, not religous zealots. Criminal gangs can be bought with money, and it is interesting that the big fish caught in the last couple weeks have had 1 million $ bounties on their head.
Hopefully this will continue, because if they have to flee Karachi, they are out of good places to run. Yemen would probably be their next stop, but that is too small to afford the protection the big fish need.

The article said, "arrested." If we aren't going to thoroughly interrogate him (a la 0bama and Holder), then the article should have said, "terminated."

There has never been a time when Muslims stayed in their own land and left other people alone. Mohammed started in his Arab wasteland by attacking neighboring cities and kingdoms and within less than 50 years, Muslims had attacked and subdued all the more advanced cultures around them and swept over Spain in 710. Islam is nothing but an Arab-superiority bandit cult with religious trappings to make it easier to impose its rule once the conquest by violence is attained, and it has always been and will always be on the warpath until it is completely stamped out.
Yes. The sad part, it will take our "leaders" weeks to decide how to handle him. It's a political issue, after all.
Yaya bin Busted! YES!!!!
Afternoon sir..one check off the list....2 more to even the score.
Whose custody is he in, Pak’s or ours? Nothing I can find makes that clear. Near as I can tell, it’s the Pak security forces.
Until my source tells me otherwise....I am going to celebrate.
Of course, the FLIP SIDE to that is, once you begin paying for "big gets," there's no incentive for the Pakis to arrest anyone for free. Indeed there is the opposite incentive: to insure that al Qaeda and Taliban operatives of interest to America are protected and NOT vulnerable to being taken out or taken down unless and until appropriate payment is received.
Bush made these people costly liabilities to Pakistan. If what you suggest is true, Obama has now made them valuable assets.
Like I said—they’re CLAIMING. I’m hoping they do have Gahan, and that right now there are a few CIA guys with a wet towel, a car battery, and some piano wire “greeting” him.
It *is not* Adam Gadahn, but a different American.
Did Osama or Obama buy him back?
