Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks in the United States, was arrested today in Pakistan, a senior Pakistan government source told the Associated Press.
CIA officers and Pakistani authorities carried out the operation that led to Mohammed's capture, according to American officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Mohammed was arrested along with two other people in Rawalpindi, near the Pakistani capital of Islamabad.
''That's fantastic!'' President Bush said when national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, delivered the news of the capture.
It was midnight Friday when CIA Director George Tenet first called Rice, who was staying at Camp David with the president and first lady, to say authorities were ''pretty certain'' they had Mohammed and two others, said White House press secretary Ari Fleischer.
Mohammed, who is on the FBI's most wanted list, will be extradited to the U.S., a Pakistan official said.
''Right now, I can't say whether Mohammed will be moved tomorrow or next week,'' Information Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad told Reuters. ''It could be next week, it could be tomorrow.''
U.S. officials regard Mohammed as a key al-Qaida lieutenant and organizer of the terror mission that sent hijacked passenger jets crashing into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field, killing more than 3,000 people.
Mohammed, 45, has not been charged in the Sept. 11 attacks, but he has been charged in a 1995 terror plot.
Mohammed had escaped a series of previous raids in different part of Pakistan, mainly in the southern port city of Karachi, before his capture in a joint operation between Pakistan authorities and FBI agents in Rawalpindi.
He is believed to be from Oman although other reports say he was born in Kuwait, and was among the 22 top al-Qaida men listed on the FBI's most wanted list. The State Department has offered a reward of up to $25 million for information leading to his capture.
Mohammed had been hiding in Pakistan for many months, trying to rebuild the terror network in the wake of the defeat of its Taliban allies in neighboring Afghanistan in late 2001.
According to security sources, the balding Mohammed studied for some time in United States before exiting the country ahead of the attacks in New York and Washington on Sept. 11 and re-joined bin Laden in Afghanistan.
A security dossier describes him as highly intelligent, a meticulous planner and a daring person who knows how to forge links and find places to shelter.
In addition to operational planning, Mohammed played a key role in the financial affairs of the network, funneling cash to cells in different countries including Pakistan.
The FBI's website says that he is also wanted for his alleged involvement in a plot to bomb commercial airliners flying routes to the United States from Southeast Asia in 1995. He was indicted in New York in January of 1996.
Sources said the arrest came about with the help of information gleaned from other al-Qaida suspects who have been rounded up in Pakistan.
Mohammed was the third top ranking bin Laden associate to be arrested in Pakistan by FBI and local agencies in joint operations.
In March last year Abu Zubaidya, a Palestinian Arab aide of bin Laden was arrested in the central industrial city of Faisalabad and six months later another top aide Ramzi bin al-Shaiba was captured in the southern port city Karachi.
