Bin Laden 'surrounded'
February 22, 2004
A BRITISH Sunday newspaper is claiming Osama bin Laden has been found and is surrounded by US special forces in an area of land bordering north-west Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The Sunday Express, known for its sometimes colourful scoops, claims the al-Qaeda leader has been "sighted" for the first time since 2001 and is being monitored by satellite.
The paper claims he is in a mountainous area to the north of the Pakistani city of Quetta. The region is said to be peopled with bin Laden supporters and the terrorist leader is estimated to also have 50 of his fanatical bodyguards with him.
The claim is attributed to "a well-placed intelligence source" in Washington, who is quoted as saying: "He (bin Laden) is boxed in."
The paper says the hostile terrain makes an all-out conventional military assault impossible. The plan to capture him would depend on a "grab-him-and-go" style operation.
"US helicopters already sited on the Afghanistan border will swoop in to extricate him," the newspaper says. It claims bin Laden and his men "sleep in caves or out in the open. The area is swept by fierce snow storms howling down from the 10,000ft-high mountain peaks. Donkeys are the only transport."
The special forces are "absolutely confident" there is no escape for bin Laden, and are awaiting the order to go in and get him.
"The timing of that order will ultimately depend on President Bush," the paper says. "Capturing bin Laden will certainly be a huge help for him as he gets ready for the election."
The article says bin Laden's movements are monitored by a National Security Agency satellite.
On Thursday last week, General Richard Myers, chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, said America had been engaged in "intense" efforts to capture bin Laden, who was believed to be hiding in the border area between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
But he insisted that the focus of the search had not narrowed for months.
yet you failed it.

All I know about Bush is I had a job when Clinton was president.
And I didn't have one when Clinton was President (not an IT job that is) but I do have one now since Bush is so what's your point? Companies fire people or lay them off, not the President. He has better things to do that are more important.

"Welcome to the beginning of the end of the Great American Experiment!"
... oh yes December. Right after GW rigs the next election.
The end? The end? Perhaps you are right. However, I have a little hope left for my American brothers. I believe the revolution begins next December. Let me see
As far as I can see GWB will win the next elections due to a) Nader announcing his run and leeching votes from the Democrat candidate and b) the imminent but orchestrated capture of bin Laden.
I don't see the civil war happening unless GWB/neocons try to extend their regime in 2008 by unconstitutional means ("...there will be no leadership change until the war on terror is brought to an end and therefore the elections will be indefinitely postponed...").
