| Bin Laden still believed to be in Pakistan: Panetta |
| 2009-06-12 |
| WASHINGTON (AP) - CIA Director Leon Panetta says he believes Osama bin Laden is still in Pakistan. The spy agency hopes to close in on the al-Qaida leader as Pakistan's military cracks down on the tribal area where he is thought to be hiding. Panetta told reporters after a speech on Capitol Hill that finding bin Laden remains one of the CIA's top priorities. He said he hopes that the combination of increased CIA activity and the Pakistani military offensive will give the United States a better chance of nabbing him. Panetta said in his speech that the CIA has increased the number of officers and agents in Pakistan who are providing targeting and other information to attack the al-Qaida network there. |

| #2 I seriously doubt Zawahiri and Bin Laden are both in Pakistan with increased drone activity, for the same reason the vp and president are separated when under siege. OBL seems to be isolated from current news, though. Islam and conflict is spreading in Africa, but there are other areas he has previously frequented where he could be hiding without much notice. International waters, for one. |
