 The belief by intelligence organisations that Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is in a remote Pakistan border area is just a “speculation”, Pakistan’s ambassador to the United States said on Sunday, AFP reported.
| "Really. He's not in Chitral. We'd tell you if he wuz." |
Mahmoud Ali Durrani was asked on CNN about an interview President Pervez Musharraf gave to CBS television, to be broadcast later on Sunday. CNN quoted Musharraf as saying of Bin Laden, “There is no proof whatsoever that he’s here.”
| "In fact, there's no proof he exists!" |
He said, “We are not particularly looking for him, but we are operating against him and Al Qaeda and militant Taliban and in the process obviously combined maybe we are looking for him also.” Durrani sought to clarify saying, “I think the president is suggesting that neither we, nor the US, has any intelligence where exactly Osama bin Laden is.”
| "It ain't like we have his house number or something. Not his current one, anyway." |
