| Description | * Pakistani and American officials deny report
TEHRAN: Osama Bin Laden has been captured in a tribal area of Pakistan, the external Pashto-language service of Iranian state radio reported on Saturday quoting an “informed source”, stated AFP.
The report, which could not be independently verified, said the alleged arrest took place “some time ago” but gave no further details.
It went on to claim that US officials were keeping news of the arrest secret and were likely to announce it later in the year — in order to help US President George Bushh’s re-election chances in November polls, AFP added. “The capture of the Al Qaeda leader was made some time ago, but President Bush is intending to announce it at the time of the American presidential election,” the report claimed. |
