Zawahiri's deputy captured in Khost
 | Afghan Islamic Press has gone to a subscription system, so all we have is the headline. Google check returns nothing. I'm guessing the capture refers to Qahtani, whose capture was reported yesterday. More details as they come available, if ever. |
Coalition forces have arrested the right-hand man of Ayman al-Zawahiri, the number two in al-Qaida's high command, in Khowst in eastern Afghanistan a few days ago, Afghan Islamic Press reported Monday. The Pakistan-based news agency quoted Khowst police chief Gen Mohammad Ayub as saying that Saudi national Abu Qais who was among the six people arrested in Khowst was the closest aide of al-Zawahiri.
