OSAMA bin Laden has ordered the WIVES of his cornered al-Qa'ida fanatics to fight Allied forces Sun News From NICK PARKER in Jalalabad, Afghanistan He told his henchmen to give guns to their burqa-clad women as a massive offensive was yesterday launched against his mountain hideout. The terror chief's desperation was revealed when anti-Taliban tribesmen intercepted his radio messages. Saudi-born bin Laden — called "the Sheik" by his fighters — was last night reported to have fled the Tora Bora caves for another network in the same eastern Afghanistan mountains. Before he crept out, one of his chiefs was heard to transmit: "The Sheik says keep your children in the caves and fight for Allah. "Give guns to your wives as necessary to fight against the infidel aggressors." Al-Qa'ida fighters even traded INSULTS over the air with Afghans who intercepted the message and are hunting the terrorists in the White Mountains — bin Laden's final stronghold 30 miles south of Jalalabad. The warlord was said by local forces to have skulked out of Tora Bora on horseback at night. The mountain range suffered a withering bombardment from B-52 bombers and tanks yesterday. Vapour trails from the giant aircraft carved huge white circles in the sky as they unleashed laser-guided bombs. The earth quaked under the ferocity of the blitz.
