Osama is alive and now in Pak' As per UN lier Colin Powell. timesofindia.indiatimes.com Is Osama's October suprise on the way? WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Colin Powell has said that Osama bin Laden is alive and operating from the western reaches of Pakistan or perhaps going back and forth across the border, and admitted that the Pakistanis are doing their utmost in those tribal areas to capture him. In an interview to The Chicago Tribune which has been quoted by The Nation , Powell said, "Bin Laden is still out there, and we think he is alive. We think he's operating in those western reaches of Pakistan or perhaps going back and forth across the border. And we work very closely with the Pakistanis and we're all after him. And the President gets briefed on it on a very regular basis and he asks about it on a very regular basis, so he has not taken his eye off the Osama bin Laden ball. He's the guy who brought us 9/11." Acknowledging Pakistan's role in war against terrorism Powell said, "I spend a lot of time with the Pakistanis and President Musharraf talking to him about his plans. We have got the Pakistanis doing more in those tribal areas than they've ever done in those tribal areas before, to put down Taliban elements and to put down al-Qaeda. They don't want them there either."
