Has abu-Musab al-Suri been captured?

Bill Roggio and the Counterterrorism Blog provide coverage on the possible capture of Syrian al Qaeda operative abu-Musab al-Suri (and Terrorism Unveiled has more background info plus a profile of al-Suri). Let's hope it's so, because this is but one of many very dangerous fiends in the Islamic terrorist movement.

Aside from that, there's also another important point that Roggio makes here:

Pakistan is often accused of being a less than reliable ally in the War on Terror, and has been accused of staging high profile arrests at opportune times to “prove” they are in our camp. Pakistan's reluctancel to dismantle al Qaeda affiliate Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) gives Pakistan’s critics good reason to question their commitment. . One thing is clear: Pakistan, along with Iran, is a major hub for al Qaeda’s operational commanders.

An excellent point and reminder, that Pakistan cannot be allowed to fool anyone, and it's yet one more Islamist country that's got to be re-educated for proper democracy.
