| U.S. forces scouring Kunar |

| The American commandos have launched a hunt for Osama bin Laden in Kunar province of Afghanistan bordering Chitral. Sources from across the border confirmed the mobilization of US forces, with tanks, armoured personnel carriers, helicopters and jet aircraft aiding them. House-to-house search is being conducted to catch the most wanted person on earth in Barikot, Shingal and Asmar areas. Speculation is also rife about the presence of Gulbadin Hekmatyar and his two commanders, Mulla Rustam and Mulla Sadiq, in the Afghan province. The Arandu border stands sealed for cross-border movement. If Binny's in Balochistan, er... Nimruz, then it wouldn't do much good to look for him in Kunar, even if the light is better there. I'd guess they'd like to snag Hek in this one... |
