Will Musharraf now write a book on Bin Laden? Bin Laden is alive, hiding in Afghanistan claims Musharraf

Sep. 28, 2006

Brushing aside a French intelligence report that Osama bin Laden has died of typhoid, Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf says intelligence input suggests the al-Qaeda leader is hiding in the eastern Afghan province of Kunar, possibly with the help of an Afghan warlord.

Interviewed by The Times in New York, Musharraf said he believed that bin Laden was in Afghanistan, and suggested a possible link with the warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. "It's not a hunch. Kunar province borders on Bajaur Agency. We know there are some pockets of al-Qaeda in Bajaur Agency. We have set a good intelligence organization. We have moved some army elements. We did strike them twice there. We located and killed a number of them," he said in the interview published today. "In Kunar province it is Gulbuddin Hekmatyar who is operating," Musharraf said, observing "there must be some linkages." The Pakistani leader shrugged off a leaked French intelligence report suggesting that bin Laden may have died from typhoid sometime between August 23 and September 4 while hiding in Pakistan.
