From the London times: Bin Laden 'under house arrest'

The Taleban regime in Afghanistan has confirmed that Osama bin Laden, suspected of masterminding the attacks on New York and Washington, is under house arrest, it was reported today.

Bin Laden was first reported by Pakistani newspapers to be under house arrest in Kandahar, Afghanistan.

A spokesman for the Taleban embassy in Pakistan confirmed the reports to United Press International: "We have placed him under control after the attacks."

American officials have yet to officially name bin Laden as their prime suspect, but sources close to the investigation have described his involvement as "all but 100 per cent certain".

The hardline Taleban regime, which is not recognised by Western countries and has only three embassies worldwide, has said that it has "severed" communications between bin Laden and the outside world.

The reports come as Pakistan, one of the three countries to have diplomatic relations with the Taleban, prepared to send senior military officials to Kandahar for talks with Mullah Omar, the regime's spiritual leader.

The officials were expected to tell Omar that he should expel bin Laden from Afghanistan, a move which would make his arrest or killing by America easier.

The Los Angeles Times reported that diplomatic observers were sceptical of the Taleban's moves, aimed at avoiding international criticism and possible reprisals for harbouring the fugitive terrorist.

Diplomatic sources told the newspaper that only a complete and unconditional surrender of bin Laden and his men would satisfy the United States, where he is already wanted for his alleged part in bombing the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1996.
