A senior Yemeni al-Qaeda operative has been arrested in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi, Pakistan's army says.
Mohammed Ali Qasim, also known as Abu Suhaib al-Makki, had been working under al-Qaeda leaders along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, a statement said.
The army said his arrest was a "major development in unravelling the al-Qaeda network operating in the region".
Abu Suhaib al-Makki was once named by a jihadist website as a leader of a group of "Arab Afghans" in Afghanistan. BBC NEWS
