Huuuummmmmm...

Bin Laden hiding along Pak-Afghan border’
snip...

On the same day Kuwait’s Al-Rai Al-Aam newspaper quoted sources in Islamic groups as saying that Bin Laden was living in a safe place northeast of the Afghan capital, where he was being protected by a local tribe.

The sources said that Taliban leader Mullah Omar had also sought sanctuary inside Afghanistan. They added that he recently sent an envoy to three Gulf states, including Kuwait, to collect donations from jihad sympathisers. The envoy’s trip was facilitated by local contacts.

They revealed that an unnamed person who met Mullah Omar two weeks ago had also seen Bin Laden two and a half months ago. The man said that the Al Qaeda leader was in good spirits, adding that he closely followed the military actions of his followers.

Bin Laden’s number two Ayman al-Zawahiri was living in a different area of Afghanistan, revealed the same Islamic sources. The two men coordinated and exchanged information through well-trusted men. They added that both Al Qaeda and the Taliban were “regrouping” in order to launch “qualitative” attacks against US forces in Afghanistan.

The sources admitted that Al Qaeda was not capable of carrying out military attacks in Iraq, contradicting statements by interim Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi that Bin Laden had sent one of his followers to command operations in that country. afp
