CAIRO: Senior Al-Qaeda operative Seif al-Adel, who was reported to have briefly taken over the militant network's leadership after Osama Ben Laden's death, was arrested in Cairo airport on Wednesday, security officials said.
The officials did not say why the Egyptian militant, who is on the FBI's most wanted list with up to $5 million dollar reward for his capture, flew to Cairo airport.
An airport official said he arrived on an Emirates Airline flight from Pakistan with a stop over in Dubai.

Heh, he flew to Egypt thinking that he was going to take over the country, and got busted on the way in. Probably used his cell phone, and NSA tagged him.

How would you like to have been on that flight?

Yes, and hopefully we will soon know if he was hiding in Iran together with Saad bin Laden a few years ago and the involvement of Khameini’s Qods Force.

How and when he is released will provide us with much new and potentially useful information.
It would be even more interesting if we can get our hands on him - but that is very unlikely.

It might be a mistaken identity, i.e. not the al Qaeda leader.
