The Pakistani intelligence service has arrested a senior al Qaeda leader who sought to attack targets in the United States, Europe and Australia, the Pakistani military said Monday.
The intelligence service arrested Younis al-Mauretani and two al Qaeda associates in the suburbs of Quetta, Pakistan, the military said in a statement.
Osama bin Laden had asked al-Mauretani "to focus on hitting targets of economic importance in United States of America, Europe and Australia," with U.S. targets including gas and oil pipelines, dams and oil tankers, the statement said.
Security Clearance: Arrest yet one more blow for al Qaeda
Al-Mauretani was also involved in planning multiple attacks on European countries similar to those in Mumbai, India, in 2008, European intelligence officials told CNN last year. The man at the center of the alleged al Qaeda plot, Afghan German Ahmed Sidiqui, was detained in July 2010 and told interrogators that al-Mauretani helped with planning and coordination.
News of the arrest comes six days before the 10th anniversary of al Qaeda's attack on the United States, which killed nearly 3,000 people. It also comes as the United States and its allies have made major strides in its fight against al Qaeda.

People of the United States of America and President Obama,
Look,just the fact they found this POS in Pakistan should be reason enough to drop a couple of 10 Kiloton Nuclear weapons on potential hideouts.I know,I know it's overkill but be we warned the PAKS and if the Terrorists overthrow the government and get their hands on the PAKS Nuclear Weapons then it really going to hit the fan.Also,how do we know the PAKS are not playin both sides of the street and may have already sold a NUKE or 2 to AL Q?
