"...Homayoun Jarir, son-in-law of Afghan warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, said he could not confirm the report.
Shamim Shahed, the bureau chief for ``The Nation,'' an English-language newspaper in Peshawar, was cited by the director of IRNA's Pashtun radio service as the source of the bin Laden report.
But Shahed denied in an AP interview ever telling the Iranian news service that bin Laden had been captured.
``I never said this, but I have for the last year been saying that he is not far away. He is within their (the Americans) reach, and they can declare him arrested anytime,'' Shahed said. He gave no evidence to back up that claim..."
So what does "declare him arrested" mean? Is it like whoever said that in Vietnam, we should "declare victory and go home"?
