Haji Zaman says he doesn't know where Binny is
2001-12-16
  • Zaman said he had no information on the whereabouts of bin Laden. A cave where alliance commanders had thought bin Laden might be hiding was the last al-Qaida holdout. "There were only six people. One was killed by our forces and the others were captured," said another alliance commander, Hazrat Ali. "A few days before today I had information he was here, but now I don't know where he is." Zaman said several hundred routed al-Qaida men might be on the run toward the border with Pakistan. He and Ali said their forces were pursuing the fleeing fighters.
    Our guess: Bin Laden beat it during the "surrender" negotiations and is now having tea with Gen. Hamid Gul in Pakistan, having a little chuckle over the attack on India's Parliament building. After a little rest, he'll pop on over to Saudi Arabia and Yemen to visit the folks, then head for Somalia or Chechnya to start rebuilding his operations.
