Where is Osama bin Laden? U.S. zeros in on Chitral, Pakistan in hunt for 9/11 mastermind

WASHINGTON - Where's Osama? Try Chitral, once a trekkers' paradise in Pakistan that has been sealed off to outsiders and is now regularly buzzed by American spy drones.

The U.S. won't say it officially, but an exhaustive Daily News investigation finds the world's biggest manhunt for the monster who murdered nearly 3,000 people on 9/11 has zeroed in on Chitral's stunning peaks and deep valleys.

Six U.S. and foreign officials confirmed to The News that northwestern Pakistan's impenetrable Hindu Kush mountains - which boast some of the world's tallest climbs - in the Chitral region have been eyed as Bin Laden's hideout since 2006 by Osama hunters aiming for the big kill.

A lengthy review of evidence, including recent Predator fly-bys, Bin Laden's tapes since 9/11 and interviews with three dozen experts on Al Qaeda, Pakistan and special operations, point to these vast mountains as the terror chief's most likely haven.

Captured Al Qaeda leaders have given up as his hideout. "Debriefings of Al Qaeda leaders arrested confirmed this," said Rohan Gunaratna, author of "Inside Al Qaeda."

Two senior foreign officials said the nearby town of Kalam also is suspect.

I would ‘almost’ rather see justice taken to DC. It is those in DC that are killing our country now.

Obama will hold a Press Conference, hold up a 5 pound bag of ground round, claim we got Osama, declare victory, bring everybody home for a group hug.

He might “get him”
but
he won’t try him
and
if he does, he’ll never convict him.
osamaobama promised to get bin laden (one of the many campaign promises).
Remeber ericdick holder is the AG-no one except “white cowards” will be executed on his watch.

"He’s dead Jim."

Yes he is. But we should be hammering Obama to find him! That's all Obama harped on in his campaign that he will get Obama that Bush failed. So we should hammer Obama and the liberals on this issue. FIND OSAMA!

If he is found, it will be a horrible thing for justice, he’ll play into the media giants and he’ll probably get a post on the Cabinet of the present administration if they can prove he has paid his taxes, if he just stops JIHADING and humping goats...sort of thing he will get the under the wire as a moderate.
