Indian Air Force Spots Osama Bin Laden in Tibet-Ladkh Region, Goes on Red Alert (debkafile)

Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was spotted in the flesh just a few days ago--according to Debkafile's global security sources.

Between October 17th and October 19th, and Indian air force reconnaissance plane picked up the elusive terrorist mastermind in the Tibet Ladkh region close to the Northeastern 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 these vehicles turned up again on October 22nd heading east towards the Chinese border.

The agents hunting the Al Qaeda leader are now 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--Taliban or led by Karzai-- to secure a foothold.

Little Pamir is wedged between Tajikistan where Russian special forces are taking part in the Bin Laden dragnet are deployed.

Hmmm, wouldn't this mean, given its DEBKA, that Bin Laden is anyplace but there?

Pretty good eyesight to recognize someone on the ground at 500 mph. I'm impressed.

How many damn times are they gonna spot him. I'd rather hear they made him a spot in the middle of the road. Like the song "dead skunk".

Does the Indian Air force have predator drones? If so I would have just taken the whole convoy out!

Hope they get him tomorrow and they better not nuke him because we need the evidence of his capture. Wouldn't that be great timing!

No, they don't, and I failed to adequately convey my skepticism in my earlier remark.

If we know, he certainly knows. He's probably long gone.

"Then came a surprising statement. Al Qaeda asserted in one of its taped publications that, rather than spill blood, it preferred to enter into dialogue with European nations - provided they met certain conditions such as disengaging from Washington’s policies.

"No European government bought this attempt at manipulation. Our al Qaeda specialists predict that if Kerry is elected, its propagandists will try the same ploy on him too. When they are brushed off, the terrorists will go into action. But if Bush prevails, they will not bother with such delaying tactics before launching into anti-US violence. "

Now how would anyone know this?

"But before bin Laden disappeared in his mountain fastness, he not only had the videotape posted to al Jazeera, but left with his men precise instructions defining the political circumstances and timing for the next al Qaeda terrorist attack in the United States."

Speculation? Or does someone know something they're not telling?

The speculation in the Indian press that Bin Laden is residing in a comfy villa in a Pakistani city is much more believable than that he is running about the mountains.

Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if he was living in a villa in southern France or Switzerland. All he needs is a couple of rooms, a trusted source of food and drink, and a secure means of communications. Sort of doing the Anne Frank thing.
