Bin Laden sons' arrest denied


Bin Laden: 'Not in Pakistan'
Pakistani and US officials have denied reports that two of Osama Bin Laden's sons have been wounded and captured in a clash on the Afghan border.
As he emphatically dismissed the claim, Pakistani Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat also denied reports that Osama Bin Laden was hiding inside Pakistan.

His denial was echoed by an official in Washington who, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP that claims about the sons' arrests were untrue. "We have absolutely no information to substantiate that," the official said.

Earlier, Sardar Sanaullah Zehri, the Home Minister of Balochistan - the region at the centre of the search in Pakistan - told the BBC US forces were engaged in operations across the border in Afghanistan.

Mr Zehri said he had been informed by intelligence agencies that Bin Laden's sons had been captured in the town of Ribat, in the south-east of Afghanistan, near where the Iranian and Pakistani borders meet.
