Fierce fight to whisk stranger away Islamabad - Pakistani troops who saw a "foreigner" flee a siege near the Afghan border in a bullet-proof landcruiser are certain he was not Osama bin Laden, a senior security official said today. But the level of resistance put up by scores of heavily armed fighters as he escaped suggested it could be the al-Qaeda chief's number two, Ayman al-Zawahri. "The way he was whisked away, the way fighters sprang from nowhere ... We can't think of another al-Qaeda leader who could have such high protocol," the official said. The foreigner was spotted fleeing a siege of tribesmen's homes in a remote village in northwest Pakistan, some 20km east of the Afghan border, on Tuesday. A contingent of 50 paramilitary troops were attacked as the foreigner's four-wheel drive sped away. As two other landcruisers emerged to protect the first, dozens of fighters sprang from several directions to pound the soldiers with gunfire and grenades. ATaliban spokesperson said today that Bin Laden and Zawahri were safe in Afghanistan. Abdul Samad said he was "100%" sure the al-Qaeda number two was safe. - Sapa-AFP star.co.za
