WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The U.S. intelligence community has quietly concluded that Osama Bin Laden was in a town in Pakistan.
Intelligence sources said major U.S. agencies have assessed that the Al Qaida chief has relocated from the Afghanistan-Pakistani border to a town or city within Pakistan. The sources said Bin Laden was equipped with advanced communications.
"There seems to have been changes made and Bin Laden is now in a position where he has the capability to be in communications with people anywhere in the world," an intelligence source said.
The assessment was drafted in wake of Bin Laden's taped message in December 2005, the first in more than a year. The sources said several intelligence agencies analyzed the content of the message and determined that Bin Laden has maintained steady contact with the outside world.
Peshawar or Chitral.

Shares his itenerary with you does he?
Yesterday he was dead in Iran. He's got more lives than the times we've caught Zarqawi.
My bad. Simple typo. I'm typing while on the road driving.
Bodansky has been saying for a long time - he is living as part of a "regular family" in that region. no big security apparatus around him.

Hiding in plain sight....he knows we will not attack a Pakistan city.
Yeah I do..
He is running a Liquor store at Michigan Ave. and Schaefer...
And, according to Iranians I trust, Osama bin Laden finally departed this world in mid-December. The al Qaeda leader died of kidney failure and was buried in Iran, where he had spent most of his time since the destruction of al Qaeda in Afghanistan. The Iranians who reported this note that this year's message in conjunction with the Muslim Haj came from his number two, Ayman al-Zawahiri, for the first time.

Rep. Curt Weldon, who broke the Able Danger story last year revealing that military intelligence had identified lead hijacker Mohammed Atta as a terrorist threat before the 9/11 attacks, now says that Osama bin Laden has died.
Weldon made the stunning claim during an interview Wednesday with the Philadelphia Inquirer, which reported:
"Weldon is making explosive new allegations. He says a high-level source has told him that terrorist leader Osama bin Laden has died in Iran, where he has been in hiding."
just my opinion of course, but I do not buy that "dead in iran" story.
I don't buy it..
But Curt Weldon says Bin Laden is dead. I'm sooo confused.
