It goes without saying that the military generally tends to be more closed about any sensitive information because of operational difficulties faced in the wake of any such leakages, while intelligence agencies not in the field of combat are generally more forthcoming about information. Indeed, intelligence officials here confirm the news that a senior official of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) flew to India last week to alert Indian intelligence agencies about the possibility of bin Laden sneaking into India. The Pakistan-based official sought Indian assistance for joint operations by Indian and US forces to nab the world's most wanted fugitive if he crossed over from northeastern Pakistan, the sources said. The official's visit followed the reported spotting of bin Laden in northeastern Pakistan, close to the Pakistan-China-India border. The sources said the FBI official met senior officials related to internal and external security and appeared to have information about the impending release of the latest bin Laden videotape.
