They reportedly admitted to Pakistani security forces that members of bin Laden's inner circle were trying to escape by ship....
A total of 105 pickup trucks carrying Taliban members and officials have entered Pakistan at three border crossings since Thursday, according to a senior Pakistani official in Chaman.
Amid heightened fears that some al Qaeda members have already fled, Pakistan yesterday rushed to send hundreds of extra soldiers and armed helicopters to the mountainous border region near bin Laden's hideout yesterday to cut off any mule-trail border crossings.
Okay, am I the ONLY one who thinks these statements add up strangely? (I won't even get into asking WHY were they able to stop a group of women but NOT the 105 trucks carrying men.)
Saber, it rather sounds as though they don't have any real concern that OBL can escape, eh? I wonder why....
A few scenarios come to mind...
- Yours, that OBL is already dead.
- Another, that there are still a lot of OBL true-believers in the ISI and Paki military.
- Another, that this story is more of the disinformation and bad information that we have to wade through in this war.
