DEBKA mentioned it yesterday.

Bin Laden Videotape Was Hit-and-Run Assault on US Election
http://www.debka.com/article.php?aid=928

Bin Laden was actually spotted in the flesh just a few days ago - according to DEBKAfile’s counter terror sources. Between October 17 and October 19, an Indian air force reconnaissance plane picked him up in the Tibet-Laddakh region close to the North-Eastern corner of Pakistan bordering India and China. Additional surveillance aircraft were called in and identified the al Qaeda leader on the move with a 10-vehicle convoy of black Japanese minivans. Four of the vehicles turned up again on October 22 heading east towards the Chinese border. Our sources maintain that the rumored sightings of bin Laden on the Lingzi Thang Plain on the Tibetan border in June may have been true then but are now outdated. In any case, he was not at the time in Pakistani Waziristan or the Afghan-Pakistani border.

The agents hunting the al Qaeda leader are working on the premise that he has decided to wait out the winter months in one of two regions: Hunza province in the Northern Frontier tip of Indian Kashmir or Little Pamir, where fanatical Tajik tribes have never allowed any Kabul government - whether Taliban or led by Karzai - to secure a foothold. Little Pamir is wedged between Tajikistan

where Russian special forces taking part in the bin Laden dragnet are deployed and China.

As Pakistan's original cooperation in the taliban removal was secured with Rumsfeld's promise through Central Command that India's involvement or any India support would be kept at arms length in regards to Pakistan theater of influence, the idea that this is leaked or affirmed is crazy.
