Pakistan Dismisses Report Bin Laden Has Entered November 16, 2001 11:00 AM ET reuters.com ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Islamabad on Friday dismissed as "preposterous and mischievous" an Iranian radio report that Saudi-born militant Osama bin Laden had probably fled from Afghanistan to Pakistan. "It seems to be an attempt to create turmoil and confusion," the military government's top spokesman, Major General Rashid Qureshi, told Reuters. "That is preposterous and mischievous." State-run Iran radio quoted an unnamed "informed source" as saying that the millionaire militant, prime suspect in the September 11 attacks on the United States, had probably fled for his life across the border near the remote and inaccessible region of Tirah in northwestern Pakistan. "Osama bin Laden has most likely abandoned Afghanistan for the Manatiq-e-Azad (free areas) of Pakistan to save his life," the report quoted the unidentified source as saying. Manatiq-e-Azad is a semi-autonomous tribal region of Pakistan that borders Afghanistan.
