LAHORE: The Pentagon believes Osama Bin Laden is hiding in a mountainous region in South Waziristan near Balochistan, but it cant get to him right now, according to a member of the 9/11 Commission.
Commissioner John Lehman told Jim Mohr of the San Berdino County Sun that the Al Qaeda chief was alive and living in South Waziristan. There is an American presence in the area, but we cant just send in troops. If we did, we could have another Vietnam, and the United States cannot afford that right now, Mr Lehman said.
