Anybody wonder what they did to this arrestee to make him cooperate and give up his buddies so quickly?

American intelligence agencies have coordinated closely with their counterparts in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, throughout the operations which led to the arrest of Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani and Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan....Mr Khan, a 25-year-old al-Qaida computer expert, was encouraged to take part in a sting operation against his former colleagues after his capture, it was confirmed yesterday. While he was in custody he emailed his contacts in the organisation.

"Initially he was trying to dodge the investigators, but after some time started cooperating," said a government official. "He was asked to continue his job by sending email messages to trace the links and codes of al-Qaida operatives abroad and in Pakistan."

Pakistan says both men may be extradited to the U.S.--after Pakistan is finished with them.

Pakistan's interior minister, Faisal Saleh Hayat, said yesterday: "We can not extradite these terrorists until the completion of investigation by our security agencies, as they had plans to carry out terrorist activities in Pakistan.

As if there will be anything left of them to extradite by then.
