U.S.: Bringing the evil-doers to justice one at a time

I'd have preferred a daisy cutter up his arse, but you can't have everything you want.

A son of Osama bin Laden's top lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has been captured by Pakistani forces, one of Pakistan's leading newspapers reported on Wednesday.

The Urdu-language Jang daily said Khalid al-Zawahiri was arrested in an operation against al-Qaeda suspects in South Waziristan, a semi-autonomous area bordering Afghanistan, on Tuesday.

The report, quoting diplomatic sources, said Khalid was handed over to US custody soon after the arrest and flown out of Pakistan.

Military and government officials declined to confirm or deny the report.

Ayman al-Zawahiri, suspected by the United States as being one of the authors of the September 11 attacks, threatened new attacks in the US in a recording attributed to him by Al-Jazeera television station on Tuesday.
