[0:06] This is the CBS Evening News
[0:10] with John Roberts.
[0:14] Good evening. John Roberts is off
[0:16] tonight. I'm Anthony Mason. This is the
[0:18] face of the alleged mastermind of the
[0:20] 9/11 attacks. This photograph of College
[0:22] Shake Muhammad was taken shortly after
[0:24] his capture in Pakistan yesterday. Joey
[0:27] Chen reports on what the arrest of the
[0:29] so-called kingpin of al-Qaeda could mean

[1:14] >> With Muhammad's capture, new details
[1:16] about his life as a terrorist operative
[1:18] have come to light. His family is said
[1:20] to have multiple links to terrorism.
[1:22] Ramsay Yousef, convicted of the 1993
[1:25] World Trade Center bombing, is
[1:27] apparently his nephew. One of Muhammad's
[1:29] brothers is believed to be an al-Qaeda
[1:31] fundraiser. Another died in Paki
