al Qaeda Biggie Arrested in Pakistan

The Pakistanis have caught another top al Qaeda guy:
A senior al Qaeda commander allegedly tied to the London airplane bomb plot has been arrested in Pakistan, Pakistani intelligence and law enforcement officials have told ABC News. Matiur Rehman, one of the most wanted men in Pakistan, is known to have met with the alleged plot ringleader Rashid Rauf, according to the officials.

Rehman’s capture could provide the most important leads in months to the whereabouts of Al Qaeda’s top two leaders, Osama bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahiri. Rehman was believed to be in frequent contact with Zawahiri.

Hopefully this guy will be treated to some of the same Pakistani hospitality that Rauf got and we'll be able to find out much more about the al Qaeda leadership, plans and locations.
