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

Q: Why do arabs wear flowing robes?
A: Because a sheep can hear a zipper a mile away.
....would someone please kill him...
You two can keep on thinking that Musharef is our Ally. I don't trust him, and neither do many others.
Wrong! I have it on good authority that he's living in a single wide trailer in New Mexico and drawing worker's comp, but he has plans to start a goat farm and is looking for a publisher for his memoirs. He was arrested for driving while impaired a few months ago, but released on a technicality.
Yes! I guess it's one or the other! LOL!!!
I trust Musharef to do what is in his best interest nothing more nothing less.
LOL..see Fred's post #21.
Thanks for posting that pic...it always makes me laugh...LOL
OK, I get it now. He's alive in Afghanistan, and he was killed in Tora Bora, and he's very ill, and he's completely well.
I will file that in the So What? file since your opinion of Mushareff means nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Pakistan is weird. From what I understand, Paki Intel and most of the population support OBL, Al Qaeda, and the Taliban. In fact, Pakistan is the origin of the Taliban.
The Army, mostly, along with substantial minority of Pakis, supports Musharraf, and he supports us (sort of) to get the assistance he needs to stay in power. With our support, that he stays on top. Its in his best interest to maintain our support... OBL being alive and moving between Afghanistan and Pakistan might be part of that.
IN the mean time he continues, or allows other Pakis to continue a terrorist war against India.
Then you mix in the nukes.
The whole thing is such a mess, that we stick with the status quo, rather than trying to fix it; we just let it go, no matter how blatant Mushie gets.
no no no . bin laden is at hyannisport,ma sailing and drinking Chappy Kennedy's scotch
Nope, sure doesn't. And your opinion of me is just below that in the grand scheme of things.
I have no opinion of you. For all I know you are a prince of a fellow.
I have it on good account that you, my dear, are a prince of a fellow. How are you doing? ;-)
Hello my dear I am doing just fine. My Bears are winning and my boys are doing well. How is YOUR little Prince?
Yep, those were the days alright. Boy, did I have fun before I was married.
