Karachi, Mar 8: In what can be considered as a prize catch for the security forces, the close aide of world's most wanted terrorist Osama Bin Laden was arrested from the outskirt of Pakistan's southern port city Karachi.

The top al-Qaeda leader Abu Yahya Mujahdeen Al- Adam was nabbed by the joint team of Pakistani security forces and the US intelligence on Sunday, Mar 7.

A newspaper report said that Abu Yahya who is in the CIA's ten most wanted terrorists list, has been taken to Islamabad for further interrogation.

The al-Qaeada leader is believed to be a close aide of the dreaded terrorist Osama Bin Laden and is said to be living with him after the Sep 11, 2001 attacks in US.

According to the report, the Pennsylvania-born militant is a US citizen and is reportedly the commander of foreign militants fighting in Afghanistan.
