SON GIVES CLUES TO AL-QAEDA LAIRS

The Telegraph, London

A son of Osama bin Laden's deputy has given crucial information on the location of al-Qaeda leaders after being captured by Pakistani forces near the Afghanistan border, intelligence officials in Islamabad say.



Ayman al-Zawahiri's son, Khalid, was seized with 20 other suspected foreign militants in a raid in the remote South Waziristan area 10 days ago, the officials told London's The Sunday Telegraph.

His information has helped direct Pakistani and US forces in their drive to capture bin Laden and other senior al-Qaeda figures believed to be in the area.

In Islamabad, officials have privately confirmed that Khalid al-Zawahiri is being questioned by a team of intelligence officers - from Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency and the CIA - at a secret location in Pakistan.

2. what happened t the thread that they already had OBL?

My husband said he read some report that they either already had OBL or knew exactly where he was just waiting for the right news day...

3. They might be thawing Bin Laden out right now

Bush needs a boost, although I think they would like to save this for later.

4. Weird

Why this stuff gets pubished is downright weird. I seriously doubt that Osama is in Afghanistan. I don't think that he has been captured and frozen either. I beleive that all the talk lately has been BS and wishful thinking.

5. The Big Chill!

They know where he is to be sure. There are too many Reflubs saying things like, "we are in hot pursuit" and "we are sniffing him out"
and they did the same thing in the weeks prior to the Kurds handing over Hussein. He may not be frozen, but he's probably hooked up to a
dialysis machine in a tent somewhere in Kashmir, to be sure!
