Tehran, Feb 28 - Iran's state radio has quoted an informed source as saying that Osama Bin Laden had been captured in a tribal region in Pakistan.
The radio's external service, broadcast in Pushtun, said US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's trip to Pakistan on Thursday had been made in connection with the capture.
The radio said, "the capture of the Al-Qaeda leader has been made sometime before, but (US President George W.) Bush is intending to announce it when the American presidential election is held."
Contacted by IRNA, an IRIB announcer at the Pusthtun service, confirmed the news, which he said, they had got from a 'very reliable source' in Peshawar, Pakistan.
"Osama Bin Laden has been arrested a long time ago, but (US President George W.) Bush is intending to use it for propaganda maneuvering in the presidential election," he said.
Osama's head on a platter is believed to be a big boost to Bush's presidential chances, which are increasingly being eclipsed by Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry.
The Saudi-born dissident is accused of masterminding the September 11, 2001 attacks on American landmarks in New York and Washington.
Visiting Kabul on Thursday, Rumsfeld said he believes Osama will be caught, but has no idea when.
That is silly.Osama is much too important to keep on ice..How can I blame the middleasterners for believing he'll be held for election timing..Maddy toyed with the thought.
