Embassy bombing suspect arrested in Pakistan

A Tanzanian al-Qaeda suspect on the FBI's most wanted terrorist list has been arrested in Pakistan in connection with the 1998 bombings at U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

The FBI said a $25 million reward had been offered for any information leading to the capture of Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani.

He was arrested Sunday in the eastern city of Gujrat, along with at least 15 other people, Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayyat told The Associated Press.

Ghailani was indicted in the U.S. in 1998 for his alleged role in the embassy bombings. The blasts killed more than 200 people, including 12 Americans.

Authorities allege Ghailani bought the truck used as the vehicle bomb in the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Police and intelligence agents captured Ghailani and the other suspects in a raid on a house that resulted in a 12-hour long shootout.

Authorities said they recovered two AK-47 rifles, "plastic chemicals," two computers, computer diskettes, and a "large amount" of foreign currency at the home, where the suspects had moved last month.
