Khaled Sheikh Muhammad, the chief planner of the World Trade Center attack of September 2001, has been arrested in Pakistan and is now being questioned by U.S. authorities. His arrest was a joint effort by the FBI and Pakistani intelligence. "This is the largest success to date in our efforts against Al-Qaeda," U.S. President George Bush said.
Muhammad is also suspected of direct involvement in the brutal murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, as well as in the planning of the attack against the synagogue in Tunisia. American analysts say that he is one of the closest aides to Bin Laden, and that he knows where the arch-terrorist is hiding.
