AL-QAEDA leader Osama bin Laden, reported last week to have died, is alive and hiding in Afghanistan, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said in an interview published in The Times today.
"It's not a hunch,'' Musharraf said.
Afghanistan's eastern "Kunar province borders on Bajaur Agency. We know there are some pockets of al-Qaida in Bajaur Agency. We have set a good intelligence organisation. We have moved some army elements. We did strike them twice there. We located and killed a number of them there.''
Pakistan's military ruler also suggested links between bin Laden and Afghan warlord and former Afghan prime minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, saying: "In Kunar province, it is Gulbuddin Hekmatyar who is operating.''
"There must be some linkages.''
Musharraf also said he had no information about reports bin Laden may have died from typhoid fever .
The memo, leaked to a newspaper last weekend, emerged from a French intelligence memo citing Saudi sources

I never said i agree they should be our Allies, just that there is an entrenched attitude in the State Department to do so. I don't trust them either.

Since everyone knows Bin Laden is in Northwest Pakistan, it is not particularly surprising that Musharraf would insist he is in Afganistan. Pakistan was and continues to be, our biggest mistake after 9/11.

I love how you Aussies dispense with the Bravo Sierra and say things straight.

I won't believe it until I see a current video tape, not some half-baked scratchy audio tape.
He hasn't been seen since Tora-Bora for a reason. Until I see him, I won't be convinced he's alive.

Osama is alive and well. He's in the White House basement and Karl Rove will bring him out sometime in October. Have you been reading over at DU again? They know all our secret plans... LOL

Dealing with people like Musharraf and Karzai to get to Bin Laden is a bit like dealing with Gollum and Shelob, to get to Sauron.

They had a banner last week saying that 'sources claimed that OBL was either alive or dead'
Wow! Now that's what I call balanced.
