Bin Laden 'no longer runs al Qaeda'
2002-09-17
Western intelligence officers now believe that Osama bin Laden is either dead or no longer operating as a terror leader. The ease of the arrest of key al Qaeda operative Ramzi bin al-Shaibah in Karachi last week has led intelligence experts to conclude that al Qaeda's leadership is now badly disrupted and Bin Laden is no longer in charge. Bin al-Shaibah was interviewed over a satellite telephone by the al Jazeera television station in Dubai and within a day was captured by Pakistani Inter Service Intelligence troops backed and guided by the FBI.
That doesn't bode well for the Bad Guys: pop your pointy little head up, and somebody takes it off. When even Karachi's too hot for them it's time to move on...
