KABUL — U.S. and Afghan forces are said to have arrested a senior al Qaeda member in southeastern Afghanistan.
A provincial police chief says the troops detained six people -- four Afghans, an Arab and a Pakistani -- on Thursday in the city of Khost.
Mohammad Ayub says the detainees are under the custody of U-S forces.
Pakistan's The News daily reports one of the detainees is Abu Nasir al-Qahtani, one of four Arab al Qaeda operatives who escaped from the U.S. prison in Bagram in July 2005.
Ayub says he's not sure if the four escaped Bagram, but is sure that one of the detainees is an important al Qaeda member.

It is about time - as a grandparent I have watched our kids (who were allowed to fail although I do remember some nagging on our part) learn, I have watched our children now micro-manage their children. A big part of it is the fact that there are predators out there and an extreme reluctance on the parents part to alllow freedom that might result in the children becoming victims.
