It is great news that he was arrested but for certain he is not Al Qaeda brain and he is not closely associated with Al Qaeda top hierarchy. He was just used as a propaganda tool by Al Qaeda because he is an American.

Abu Yahya Al-Libi, who is the person that the headline says was arrested *is* a top al-Qaeda leader. He is not the same person as Adam Yahiye Gadahn. It looks like the headline on this thread is wrong and that Gadahn is the one who was arrested today.

Actually right now both of their Wikipedia pages are reporting that they were captured today. They are not the same person. Abu Yahya al-Libi (from Libya) would be a more important capture.

The headline is referring to terrorit Adam Gadhan who has one of his terrorist nicknames “Abu Yahya Mujahdeen Al- Adam”.
