Mohammed’s capture a high point in war against terror

PAKISTAN’S arrest of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed on Saturday is the biggest catch yet in the global hunt for al-Qaida suspects triggered

Kuwaiti-born Mohammed was one of three al-Qaida suspects detained in the city of Rawalpindi near the Pakistani capital Islamabad as part of Pakistan’s support for President Bush’s war on terror.

Mohammed, the self-proclaimed head of al-Qaida’s military committee and identified by US investigators as the key planner of the suicide plane attacks on New York and Washington, has been seen as pivotal to the operations of Osama bin Laden’s network.
