Osama bin Laden 'healthy and well'
 AL-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden is "healthy and well", the network's number two leader Ayman al-Zawahiri said today in an audio message, according to a US group monitoring Islamist websites."Sheikh Osama bin Laden is healthy and well by the grace of Allah," Zawahiri said in the audio released by al-Qaeda's media arm, As-Sahab, according to a transcript provided by IntelCentre. The health of al-Qaeda's elusive leader, who is believed to be hiding somewhere in the porous border region of Afghanistan and Pakistan, is the subject of widespread speculation. Bin Laden has claimed responsibility for the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, which killed nearly 3000 people and prompted the US-led invasion of Afghanistan.
