Pakistani forces hunt for Osama bin Laden
Last Update: 2/27/2004 8:41:41 AM


(Islamabad, Pakistan-AP) -- Pakistani forces are moving into targeted areas of the country's long border with Afghanistan.

Security sources tell The Associated Press they've intercepted satellite phone calls that indicate some members of al-Qaida may be hiding in the region.

While the officials insist it wasn't Osama bin Laden on the phone, they suspect the terrorist leader might've been mentioned -- by code name -- in some of the calls.

U-S, Pakistani and Afghan officials have long suspected bin Laden is hiding out in a remote border region.

All reports still seem to share IRNA as a source, though. So who knows?

Gigantor may have another source, or at least it sounds that way. But he's got his responsibility to let his employer break their own story.
