Within hours of appearing in another video praising Major Nidal Malik Hasan for the murder of 13 at Ft. Hood Texas, Adam Gadahn was arrested by Pakistani officers.

Gadahn, near the top of the Most Wanted Terrorist list for his appearances in videos urging U.S. Muslims to attack their own country, was arrested in Karachi Pakistan according to Pakistani officers.

Gadahn was charged with treason in 2006, the first American to be so charged in over 50 years.

No word just yet whether or not the Obama Department of Justice will follow through with the treason charge, which could carry the death penalty, or try Gadahn with some lesser charge.

UPDATE: CBS now reporting Gadahn not in custody after all.

If Gadahn has not been arrested, was the media too eager to report in an attempt to give Obama undeserved kudos?
