“A BRITISH Sunday newspaper is claiming Osama bin Laden has been found and is surrounded by US special forces in an area of land bordering north-west Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The Sunday Express, known for its sometimes colourful scoops, claims the al-Qaeda leader has been ‘sighted’ for the first time since 2001 and is being monitored by satellite.
The paper claims he is in a mountainous area to the north of the Pakistani city of Quetta. The region is said to be peopled with bin Laden supporters and the terrorist leader is estimated to also have 50 of his fanatical bodyguards with him.
The claim is attributed to ‘a well-placed intelligence source’ in Washington, who is quoted as saying: ‘He (bin Laden) is boxed in.'”
If true, this would be faster than I had expected. Remember, I’d suggested in my New Year’s predictions he’d be caught before high summer.
