Barua: Here is an interesting news item from http://debka.com/article.php?aid=928.
Debka is supposedly the media from for the Mossad. They report that a few days ago, OBL was seen in India. An Indian Airforce plane photographed the convoy. Here is a part of it from Debka. For the whole report you can use the link above. >From other reports, it seems that India (like many other countries - even Israel) are upset with the US Admin. for not sharing intelligence reports. It seems the US is only wanting information but not giving any. In India's case ISI agents operating in Kashmir. So, many countries are not helping the US as much as the US wanted them to. BTW: This was also reported in TOI, and on Fox news. ************************* Bin Laden was actually spotted in the flesh just a few days ago - according to DEBKAfile�s counter terror sources. Between October 17 and October 19, an Indian air force reconnaissance plane picked him up in the Tibet-Laddakh region close to the North-Eastern corner of Pakistan bordering India and China. Additional surveillance aircraft were called in and identified the al Qaeda leader on the move with a 10-vehicle convoy of black Japanese minivans. Four of the vehicles turned up again on October 22 heading east towards the Chinese border. Our sources maintain that the rumored sightings of bin Laden on the Lingzi Thang Plain on the Tibetan border in June may have been true then but are now outdated. In any case, he was not at the time in Pakistani Waziristan or the Afghan-Pakistani border. The agents hunting the al Qaeda leader are working on the premise that he has decided to wait out the winter months in one of two regions: Hunza province in the Northern Frontier tip of Indian Kashmir or Little Pamir, where fanatical Tajik tribes have never allowed any Kabul government - whether Taliban or led by Karzai - to secure a foothold. Little Pamir is wedged between Tajikistan where Russian special forces taking part in the bin Laden dragnet are deployed and China. Before launching the Sept.11 attacks, bin Laden and his deputy Ayman Zawahiri, prepared snug havens in the caverns that riddle the towering 5,000-8,000-meter mountain peaks. In the 1970s, the Russians converted the Little Pamir cave warren into subterranean silos for nuclear missiles pointing towards China. But even the Russians found the cold and harsh conditions unendurable and by the mid-1980s the bases were abandoned. Sunday, October 24, a senior FBI agent, briefed first in Pakistan, flew from Islamabad to New Delhi to meet Indian security bosses and examine the aerial shots of the bin Laden convoy. Our intelligence sources report that, after the American agent studied the data and questioned the Indian intelligence officers who saw the terrorist chief leave his minivan several times, he relayed Washington�s request for the Indian government to put its security forces in the North Western region on red alert and round up troops for combing operations in the region before the snowfall. New Delhi complied the next day and also stepped up its vigilance on the Kagil-Leh Highway and along the Tibetan border. But before bin Laden disappeared in his mountain fastness, he not only had the videotape posted to al Jazeera, but left with his men precise instructions defining the political circumstances and timing for the next al Qaeda terrorist attack in the United States. ************************* --- Barua25 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 3 years after 9/11, after death of more than > 1000 heroic American soldiers, after spending 200 > billion dollar, after hopelessly chasing elusive > WMDs in Iraq, America is still hunting for the > single man who symbolises the antire anti American > Middle East psyche, the man who we all know were > behind the 9/11, the man who we all know is hiding > somewhere in Pakistan, America's strongest ally. > Something is wrong.
