BBC: Burqa trap set for terror suspect

[allemand]

Pakistani agents wearing burqas seized al-Qaeda suspect Abu Faraj al-Libbi by ambushing his motorbike in a rural town, police told the BBC.
The man alleged to be a top al-Qaeda organiser was riding pillion and managed to run into a house where agents flushed him out with tear gas.
He has been held at an undisclosed location since his capture at Mardan, 60km (37 miles) from Peshawar.
Pakistani officials have ruled out his immediate extradition to the US.

4. I just watched CNN Intl

They interviewed a Pakistani fellow, I didn't catch who he was, but I assume that he was presumed to be a man who knew what he was talking about. The CNN person asked him what information they could hope to get out of this al-Libbi guy, and the Pakistani said that he could probably tell them a lot about certain Pakistani terrrists, but that he would know little about foreign terrorists such as Bin Laden.

So I guess they simply conjured that "Al-Qaeda's number 3 man" out of their asses.

6. Why not, they pulled Iraq out of their ass

and they're really pushing toward Iran now.
