Let $C_1$ be the circle of radius $1$ with center at the origin. Let $C_2$ be the circle of radius $r$ with center at the point $A=(4,1)$,where $1 < r < 3$. Two distinct common tangents $PQ$ and $ST$ of $C_1$ and $C_2$ are drawn. The tangent $PQ$ touches $C_1$ at $P$ and $C_2$ at $Q$. The tangent $ST$ touches $C_1$ at $S$ and $C_2$ at $T$. Midpoints of the line segments $PQ$ and $ST$ are joined to form a line which meets the $x$-axis at a point $B$. If $AB=\sqrt{5}$,then the value of $r^2$ is
