Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, a leader of Al Qaeda and suspected mastermind of the USS Cole attack, has been captured.

He is the highest-ranking al-Qaida operative captured since the CIA, FBI and Pakistani authorities captured bin Laden’s operations chief, Abu Zubaydah, in Faisalabad, Pakistan, in March.

They say he’s talking, too.
