Islamabad, Oct 18 (THAINDIAN NEWS) It seems the most wanted man in the world is not bothered by the tag that has been placed on him. Or so it seem if new reports that the leader of Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden is living “comfortably” in a mansion in Pakistan is true.
CNN quoted an unnamed NATO official as saying that none of the Al-Qaeda members are hiding in the caves being bombed by NATO forces.
Osama bin Laden who is a Saudi descendant is wanted by the US and NATO forces for masterminding the September 11, 2001 attacks that claimed the lives of some 3000 people in the United States. The US in particular has been “hunting” for the Saudi born militant for almost a decade now.
The official further claimed that the alleged “mansion” of the al-Qaeda leader is located close to his number two man, Ayman al-Zawahiri’s house at the northwestern part of Pakistan.
Bin Laden has a $25 million tag on his head and Pakistani authorities have denied that they are sheltering the man in their country.
However NATO officials in Afghanistan declined to comment on the allegations.
Debate rages on over whether Bin Laden has been killed or not. Some conspiracy theorists believe that the man is long dead and America is just using his name to get the excuse to continue their war in Afghanistan.
