Osama Bin Laden alive: Hekmatyar
 An Afghan rebel leader said he had information that Osama bin Laden is alive but keeping a low profile by not issuing statements, according to a video aired on Sunday. The Al Qaeda leaders long silence has fuelled speculation that the worlds most-wanted fugitive may be dead, reported Reuters. Based on information I have, I believe Osama is alive, said Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, whose forces operate in southeastern Afghanistan near Pakistan, in an undated video broadcast on Al Arabiya television. His remarks were dubbed into Arabic. I also believe that it is good that he...not appear in the media and that it is wise that no statements or tapes are issued, said Hekmatyar, without elaborating.
