By William Tucker
Preliminary reports suggesting that Adam Gadahn was captured in Karachi appear to have been premature, but the confusion is understandable. At this time media reports, supported by Pakistani sources, have stated that Adam Gadahn is not in custody; however the individual is an American member of al-Qaeda. According to the Pakistani newspaper DAWN, the suspects name is Abu Yahya, an alias used by Gadahn in the past. Other media outlets are quoting different names, but all of these are similar to aliases used by Gadahn. At this point we don't have much more to go on, nor do we know the significance of this arrest. Stay posted for more.
