Why is Pakistan’s Musharraf so nervous about capturing Bin Laden? Some international think tanks believe, the Pakistani President and Chief of military may be signaling that days of Bin Laden’s hiding may be over.

Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has said he would like Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden captured outside his country and by "some other people." "One would prefer that he's captured somewhere outside Pakistan. By some other people," Musharraf told Time magazine in an interview. As for bin Laden's whereabouts, Musharraf said he does not know anything at the moment. "The reality is that about a year ago, we had some identification of a rough area where he was, through technical means, but then we lost him. "That is how intelligence works. You can get to a person immediately, or you can just lose him immediately," he said. "I think the safest place would be on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, because this line we are not including in each other's areas, so therefore you can easily switch sides," he said. Musharraf admitted that not all Pakistanis like the US. "This may sound a little odd, while I would, honestly speaking, say that the man on the street does not have a good opinion of the United States, at the same time, if you ask the man on the street whether he agrees with my policies, I know the vast majority agree with my policies." "So you might take this to mean they understand that whatever I am doing is in our national interest and we are following the right course."
