Yes! The Indian Govt. itself I think said 'it wasn't true'. I was just curious with the Debka report (and its connection to the Mossad).
But it does make one wonder, if countries like India would be willing to divulge all intel info to the US, without some kind of quid quo pro. Further, there may be countries who would also like to crown themselves with capturing OBL. Again, others may not want such a credit (may want to keep a low profile) give possible repercussions. --- Rajib Das <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I believe many news items discounted this bit of > information given that India's capabilities to > discern > a convoy of OBL SUVs either from a satellite or > fighter jets is limited. > > --- ram Sarangapani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > 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.
