Pakistani General: Bin Laden Not in Pakistan In the Bullpen - By Chad Evans on Terrorism - Reuters PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden can not be hiding in Pakistan’s tribal lands on the Afghan border as Pakistani forces have combed the area and found no hint of him, a Pakistani army commander said on Thursday. Bin Laden and his bodyguards could not go undetected in the rugged tribal lands, although pockets of al Qaeda-backed fighters are battling Pakistani forces there, said Lieutenant-General Safdar Hussain. “He requires his own protection and the kind of security apparatus he is supposed to have around would give us a very big signature,” Hussain told Reuters in an interview in his well-fortified headquarters in the northwest city of Peshawar. “There is not an inch of South Waziristan agency or the tribal area which we have not swept time and again and if he was here, I assure you he could not have escaped my ears and eyes.” This report is credible because Hussain is the leader of the campaign to root out Al Qaeda terrorists from Northeast Pakistan, where Waziristan is. There have been numerous rumors placing Bin Laden all over the Middle East, though the most reasonable would be placing him in Iran. Other reports indicate a Bin Laden sighting in Kashmir, the area between Pakistan and India. Several of the 9/11 hijackers traveled through Iran without a stamp on their passport as indicated by the 9/11 Commission’s report. Bin Laden also appeared to be in both good spirits and in pretty good health in his last video, released a few days prior to the U.S. election. With a serious ailment as Bin Laden is reported to have, it is very doubtful he would be in good health living in a tribal region without access to doctors. Though to be honest, there are many doubts as to whether Bin Laden actually does risk kidney failure. There have been increased rumors as to Bin Laden’s ailment that indicate he might have made it up entirely in an effort to confuse intelligence agencies. Bin Laden remains a man of mystery and if in fact he is in Iran, he will die in Iran at an old age because Iran will not give him up or admit they are housing him. It would be a fatal mistake for Iran to admit any ties to Bin Laden before and after Iran’s desire for nuclear technology.
