Pakistan captures top al-Qaida suspects

Pakistan has captured two high-ranking al-Qaida terrorists, including one with a multi-million dollar US bounty on his head, in a sweep that has netted a number of other terror suspects, officials said today.

Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayyat said the arrests in eastern Punjab province constituted another major break, just days after intelligence agents swooped down on Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a Tanzanian wanted for the 1998 bombings of US embassies in East Africa.
