Washington - US President George W Bush on Wednesday said that the capture of al-Qaeda's number three, Abu Faraj al-Libbi, in Pakistan, had removed "a direct threat" to the United States.

"Today's report of the capture of a top al-Qaeda operative, Abu Faraj al-Libbi, represents a critical victory in the war on terror," declared after Osama bin Laden's network carried out the September 11 attacks, said Bush.

Latest comment in World

Anthony says... @Patrick, That is a rather silly comment. In Syria, you got the same happenning as did in Egypt and Libya. You got part of the population, who want a change of government. Now what do you expect them to do , in a dictatorship ? Write a letter to the pope ????? They use the ONLY tool they got, and that is to go onto the streets. ------------------------UNARMED !!!!!!!----------------------- And they demanded to be listened to !!!!! And WHAT was the response from Maburak , gaddafi, and now this assad; Was it ; Come lets sit down as mature people, and find solutions?????? NOOOOOOOOO, it was NOT !!! It was the opposite. Like what that DOG gaddafi said; " The blood of these rats will flow in the streets of Libya " Well it did....by the THOUSANDS OF LITRES. And now the same is happenning in Syria. This assad THUG, with his violent brothers, are resposible for the MURDER of THOUSANDS, many of them (still) UNARMED protesters. And now that Russia is threatening to pull the plug, this BUTCHER wants to talk...................!!!!!! NOW ITS TOO LATE !!!! FOR 42 YEARS, ( FOURTY TWO YEARS )THE OPPOSITION WANTED TO TALK. Now these assads can go to hell !!! Read the article...
