Bin Laden and Mullah Omar Hiding in Pakistan

That is if Usama Bin Laden is alive. The whole tribal area should be declared independent from Pakistan since Musharraf keeps giving the Taliban control of it. After that, NATO should move in to find these pricks once and for all. From the BBC


Taleban leader Mullah Omar and al-Qaeda commanders, including Osama Bin Laden, are living in Pakistan, a senior US official has told reporters.
He said senior Taleban leaders were in hiding with Mullah Omar in Quetta, from where they co-ordinated the insurgency in Afghanistan.

He also reiterated Washington's belief that Bin Laden was taking refuge in Pakistan's western tribal areas.

The US official, speaking on condition of anonymity in Washington, told reporters:

"There is no question that the iconic leaders of al-Qaeda - (Ayman al-)Zawahiri, Bin Laden... are in the tribal areas of Pakistan.

"We believe that the Taleban's shura (consultation) council leaders led by Mullah Omar reside in Quetta in Pakistan," he said.

The official, who did not give a source for his information, said al-Qaeda was doing its planning in the tribal areas "just as Mullah Omar is giving strategic direction for the Taleban from Quetta".
