A glance at the top al-Qaida suspects arrested or killed in Pakistan since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States:
May 2005 - Abu Faraj al-Libbi, reportedly the No. 3 al-Qaida leader and Pakistan’s most wanted terrorist accused of planning two assassination attempts on the country’s president, arrested after a fierce gunbattle near a northeastern town.
Sept. 26, 2004 - Amjad Hussain Farooqi, a Pakistani associate of al-Libbi, killed in a shootout with security forces in a southern town. He also was accused in the two December 2003 bombings against President Gen. Pervez Musharraf and the 2002 abduction and killing in Karachi of American journalist Daniel Pearl.
July 25, 2004 - Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a Tanzanian on the FBI’s most-wanted list for his alleged role in the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in East Africa that killed more than 200 people, arrested after a gunbattle in Gujrat.
July 13, 2004 - Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan, 25, an alleged Pakistani computer expert for al-Qaida, arrested in Lahore. A tip-off from Khan led to Ghailani’s arrest. Officials said they found information on surveillance of potential targets in the United States and Britain on the two men’s computers, leading to a U.S. terror alert.
March 1, 2003 - Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, then the No. 3 figure in Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida network, captured in Rawalpindi. He allegedly masterminded the Sept. 11 attacks.
Sept. 11, 2002 - Ramzi Binalshibh, a Yemeni and another alleged Sept. 11 planner, arrested by U.S. and Pakistani authorities in Karachi. He was a close associate of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed.
March 28, 2002 - Abu Zubaydah, a senior al-Qaida operational commander, captured after a gunbattle in Faisalabad. The Saudi-born Palestinian survived gunshot wounds in the stomach, groin and leg.

Key figures at large:
Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahari: Al-Qaida’s top two leaders went into hiding during the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001. They are still believed to be sheltered by sympathizers in Pakistan’s tribal areas along the Afghan border, and have occasionally released video and audiotapes. The U.S. has offered a $25 million reward for information leading to the capture or death of either bin Laden or al-Zawahari.
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi: The 37-year-old Jordanian is believed to be the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq. Washington has accused him of direct involvement in the kidnappings and beheadings of several foreign hostages in Iraq, as well as masterminding a string of suicide bombings. The U.S. has offered a $25 million reward for his capture.
