Can we confirm this...

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is the head of al-Qaeda's Martyrdom Battalion (the suicide bombing department) and masterminded both Oplan Bojinka in 1994 with Ramzi Yousef. Aside from bin Laden, al-Zawahiri, and al-Adel, he is about as high as you go in the surviving al-Qaeda leadership.

Source: Suspected 9/11 Mastermind Caught

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks in the United States, was arrested Saturday in Pakistan, a senior Pakistan government source told The Associated Press.

Mohammed, who is on the FBI's most wanted list, was among three people arrested in Rawalpindi, near the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, the official said.

U.S. officials regard Mohammed as a key al-Qaida lieutenant and organizer of the terror mission that sent hijacked passenger jets crashing into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field, killing more than 3,000 people.

Mohammed, 37, has not been charged in the Sept. 11 attacks, but he has been charged in a 1995 terror plot. He is one of the FBI's most-wanted terror suspects, and the U.S. government is offering up to $25 million for information leading to his capture.
