Report: Osama bin Laden’s security coordinator captured in Pakistan

The Long War Journal is reporting that Bin Laden's security coordinator was captured in Pakistan.

A senior al Qaeda commander has been reported to have been captured in the Pakistani city of Lahore, according to a Pakistani newspaper. Dr. Amin al Haq, the security coordinator of Osama bin Laden’s Black Guard, “was apprehended from Lahore couple of days back,” The Nation reported, citing “credible Afghan sources.” Al Haq is said to be “under interrogation” at an undisclosed location. The report of al Haq’s capture has not been confirmed, a senior intelligence official told The Long War Journal. US intelligence agencies are aware of the report.

If true and "under interrogation" by Pakistani forces, Dr. Haq can reveal a great deal about Bin Laden's habits, movements, hideouts, and internal Black Guard workings. His capture may very well start the subsequent capture of more Al Qaeda leaders.
