Bin Laden uses 10 lookalikes to foil hunt

'Bin Laden uses 10 lookalikes to foil hunt'
Dubai, Nov. 17. (Reuters): An Arab newspaper today reported an alleged follower of Osama bin Laden as saying the Saudi-born dissident had deployed 10 lookalikes in Afghanistan to foil US efforts at capturing the world's most wanted man.

The London-based Al-Hayat daily quoted a man with the nom de guerre `Abul Noor' as also saying in an interview that Bin Laden -- accused of masterminding the September 11 attacks -- had repeatedly spoken about taking part in World War III.

Abul Noor, whom the paper said belonged to Bin Laden's Al-Qaeda organisation, was quoted as saying: "Even if the American attacks against Afghanistan succeeded in finishing the Taliban movement, they would not succeed in arresting Bin Laden. Not merely because that is difficult, but because Bin Laden has 10 lookalikes. Two of them are North Africans and they all are in Afghanistan." The only physical differences between them were birthmarks on their backs, he added.

"Bin Laden has repeatedly spoken about a third World War...He was saying `we would enter a third World War in the coming century'", Abul Noor commented in response to being told Washington had evidence of Al-Qaeda's role in the September attacks.
