MAJOR Al-Qaeda Leader Arrested In Pakistan
Foxnews Reporting:
KABUL, Afghanistan — A top Al Qaeda leader whose links stretch from Usama bin Laden's training camps to extremist networks in Europe has been captured in Pakistan, a U.S. law enforcement official confirms for the first time.
Pakistani officials also tell The Associated Press that Mustafa Setmarian Nasar, a dual Syrian-Spanish national with a $5 million U.S. bounty on his head, has been flown out of the country to an unspecified location.
Nasar was captured in a November sting in the southwestern Pakistani city of Quetta that left one person dead, the American official said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. The official spoke to the AP late last week.
U.S. military officials aware of the detention of terror suspects at American prison facilities in Bagram, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, had no immediate information Tuesday on whether Nasar had been incarcerated at either jail.
A senior Pakistani intelligence official told the AP from the capital, Islamabad, that Nasar was flown out of Pakistan to an undisclosed destination "some time ago."
"I only know that he is not here. But, I do know that Syrian authorities had also requested to get him back," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of his work.

Where is Osama? Thats what you guys should focus on instead of the kids in Iraq
I'd like some of these lefties to tell us what they'd do if we found out Osama (or Usama, whichever) was in IRAN? Should we diplomacy him to death?
As to Nasar, I believe he's more important than al-Zarqawi. I think this was a BIG bust, and hopefully he's singing like a redbird.
Anon,
The Kids in Iraq?
I'm not quite sure what you are talking about!
Usama has been reduced to sending and recieving information via donkeyback, living in a cave, cant use Afghanistan as a playground for terrorists anymore, and when was the last time you saw him on video?
I think it's safe to say Usama is contained, and if he rears his ugly head anywhere, I'm quite sure he will be taken OUT! Then again if he is dead or dying we will hear about it when the time is right.
A.C.,
They dont seem to have a plan for anything else, why would they unveil some way of dealing with Usama now?
The lefties would probably pardon him if they were in power! Since they are so concerned with the civil right's of those terrorists detained at Gitmo and other places. It wouldnt surprise me.
If the lefties were to get back in power, there goes the war on terror. And we will be subjected to repeated attacks once again like we were in the previous administration!
I too think this was a huge bust, and I have noticed the MSM doesnt mention this. Then again, anything good in the war on terror barely get's reported by anyone but Fox. And they dont report enough on this stuff either.
I too hope they are doing "Whatever is necessary" to get this guy to "Sing"!!
