Taken Down

We got one!

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Abu Farraj al-Libbi, believed by U.S. counterterrorism officials to be Usama bin Laden's No. 3 man, is being held in Pakistani custody. Officials hope he can lead them to the elusive Al Qaeda leader.

"This is somebody we watched a lot every single day — he is a very important figure for the Al Qaeda network," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Wednesday after congratulating the Pakistani government.

FOX News confirmed that al-Libbi, a Libyan-born terror suspect who was wanted in two attempts to assassinate President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, was arrested earlier this week. A $1 million bounty was put on his capture.

Next stop, bin Laden? Thoughts?
