Afghan Diplomat Doubts Pakistan's Will To Capture Bin Laden

Five years after one of the biggest terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 at the world trade center, mastermind and chief architect of terror Osama Bin Laden is still at large. The US intelligence agencies are almost certain that Bin Laden is not dead and hiding somewhere on the Pakistani side of the Pak-Afghan border.

According to Afghanistan's Ambassador to the United States, failure to capture Bin laden, Ayman al Zawahiri and Mullah Omar is not because of any intelligence failures but Pakistan's stance on the whole issue is simply hampering Osama hunt.

"I think the reason is political constraint in the region. I think there is enough military power, intelligence gathering in the region, but from the very beginning, from the days of Tora Bora, Pakistan have not allowed hot pursuit of terrorists into their territory," Afghanistan's Ambassador to the United States Said Jawad said in a television interview.

The senior Afghanistan diplomat also confirmed reports that Mullah Omar was indeed seen in Quetta, Pakistan. And we also should consider the fact that a lot of the friends and associates of Osama bin Laden were found in major metropolitan centers, not necessary in caves or in the tribal areas, so the search should be expanded" Jawad said.
