The initial reports in recent days was that Pakistani authorities had captured him. But instead American and Pakistani authorities identified the man who was captured in Karachi as Abu Yahya Mujahdeen al-Adam, the New York Times reported.
The paper reported that he was born in Pennsylvania and linked to Al Qaeda operations involved in fighting in Afghanistan.
