ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) -- Osama bin Laden, the Saudi millionaire accused by the United States of plotting bomb attacks on two U.S. embassies in Africa, has left Afghanistan, Afghan sources said Saturday.
Bin Laden's whereabouts were not known, said the sources who declined to be identified.
Taliban authorities in the militia's southern stronghold of Kandahar refused to either confirm or deny reports that bin Laden had left the country. The Taliban have called bin Laden their honored guest, a friend who helped the Afghan resistance fight invading Soviet soldiers in the 1980s.
The Taliban's ambassador in Islamabad, Saeed-ur-Rehman Haqqani, said he had not been told of bin Laden's departure, "but if it has happened, it will be a good thing."
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has offered asylum to bin Laden, who openly supports Iraq against the Western powers.

Per your request.
Great work; great work!
Thanks, Howlin- I'll pass this and the other new stuff on to the usual suspects in 'netland.
Reno? You mean a United States Att General is sitting back and allowing a US President and troops to be used in a defamation campaign that claims that he "made up" his reasons for not trusting Saddam and Sons?
Therefore weakening us in the WOT.
She must be one of those US AG's, you know, the ones who hate their country with a passion, the Dems and their press.
Not in the CNN template.
Me too.
The AP working for THEIR President, Clinton.
Notice no mention of Clinton at all in this article or others linked at bottom. All references are to "The United States".
Interesting.
"Reporting" under Clinton was VERY different, in facts, context, quotes, opinions, sources, language and tone.
Interesting indeed.
Someone should do a study!
