Captured Al-Qaeda kingpin, Al-Libbi, is a case of 'mistaken identity' - Al-Jazeerah

Even a senior FBI official admitted that al-Libbi's "influence and position have been overstated". But this weekend the Pakistani government was sticking to the line that al-Libbi was the third most important person in the Al-Qaeda network.

One American official tried to explain the absence of al-Libbi's name on the wanted list by saying: "We did not want him to know he was wanted."

Hmmmmm.
