SEARCH FOR OSAMA
Bush OKs intense
hunt for bin Laden
British elite forces joining U.S. commando team involved in Saddam's capture

Posted: February 29, 2004

President Bush has approved a plan to step up efforts to capture or kill al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden using new forces and tactics.

The new troops include Task Force 121, a unit of elite Navy SEALs and Delta Force soldiers led by top intelligence analysts involved in the capture of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.

Key personnel from the unit have now been transferred to Afghanistan.

The new hunt will be the biggest such operation in 18 months and will also include British elite forces, along with contingents of Afghan soldiers in a huge sweep of mountainous border areas where the terrorists are believed to be hiding, reports the London Observer.
