"New U.S. push to find Osama bin Laden in Afghan border region"




ARTICLE SNIPPET: "ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- Pakistani military forces, using helicopters and heavy artillery, have detained at least 25 people during raids in a remote border region where al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and Taliban leader Mullah Omar are believed to have sought refuge.


It is not clear if any senior Taliban or al Qaeda figures were apprehended, though foreigners were arrested and weapons, ammunition, passports, documents seized, Pakistani military officials said.


The sweep followed a warning to tribal leaders to hand over foreign suspects reportedly in the South Waziristan region near the border with Afghanistan.


The operation was launched after tribal authorities didn't give up the suspects, the officials said."
