U.S. and World News: "ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) -- Authorities arrested al-Qaida's No. 3 commander, who was a close associate of Osama bin Laden and had a $10 million bounty on his head, and said Wednesday they now were 'on the right track' to catch the fugitive terrorist leader.

Abu Farraj al-Libbi, who allegedly orchestrated two assassination attempts against President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, was arrested after a firefight on the outskirts of Mardan, 30 miles north of Peshawar, capital of the deeply conservative North West Frontier Province, the government and security officials said.

Al-Libbi, a native of Libya who authorities say is a close associate of bin Laden, was arrested earlier this week, Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed told The Associated Press.

'This is a very important day for us,' Ahmed said. 'This arrest gives us a lot of tips, and I can only say that our security agencies are on the right track' in the hunt for bin Laden, Ahmed said.

He would not elaborate."

In Washington, President Bush said the capture of al-Libbi "represents a critical victory in the war on terror" and he praised the Pakistani government and Musharraf for the arrest.

Bush added, "We'll stay on the offensive until al-Qaida is defeated." More...

Munir did not know it at the time, but the jihadi, or "holy warrior," was Pakistan's most-wanted man, Abu Farraj al-Libbi, the reputed al-Qaida No. 3 and the closest associate of Osama bin Laden to be arrested in more than two years." More...
