The CIA director has said he believes al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is hiding in Pakistan.

US intelligence chief Leon Panetta was asked by reporters whether he was sure that Bin Laden was in Pakistan.
Mr Panetta replied: "The last information we had, that's still the case."
The US spy agency hopes to close in on him as Pakistan's military cracks down on the tribal area where he is thought to be hiding.
Bin Laden, who has eluded a US manhunt since the terror attacks on September 11, 2001, has issued audio and videotapes over the years demonstrating he is still alive.
Mr Panetta said finding bin Laden is "one of our major priorities."
He added: "One of our hopes is that the Pakistanis move in militarily, combined with our operations, we may be able to have a better chance" to find him.

He also said al Qaeda "remains the most serious security threat" to the United States and its leaders, particularly in Pakistan, continue to plot against America.
There are "a number of people" on the ground in Pakistan providing intelligence on al Qaeda targets to the US, he said.
The intelligence agency is also focusing on countries where al Qaeda might find safe havens, like Somalia and Yemen, Mr Panetta went on.
Meanwhile, the leader of al Qaeda in Afghanistan has reportedly said militants are short of food, weapons and other supplies needed to fight foreign forces there.
On a website used by top al Qaeda leaders and other militants to post statements, Mustafa Abu al-Yazid said: "In Afghanistan, we have a severe supply deficit.
"The main reason for the weakness in operations is insufficient supplies.
"Many mujahedeen sit and wait and cannot fight for lack of supplies."
Yazid called on Turks to provide money and supplies for al Qaeda forces in Afghanistan, appealing to their common Muslim identity, and called for Turks to pray for the militants.
Al Qaeda has been severely weakened in Afghanistan since US-led forces toppled their Taliban hosts in response to the terror attacks on September 11, 2001.

And weirdly enough, a few hours after there was a suicide bomber that killed 1 and injured 14 in Pakistan, possibly a diversion so Osama can get out?

This has been known for ages, i wouldnt say its anything new.

Also to the comment about the bomb attack and getting obama out, thats really unlikely. There has been many attacks like this now since pakistan went into the Swat valley.

[Wahey]

Nah, i just hate him because stuff he's involved with, why can't he be normal and work in a corner shop or summin


Lol there was a game on PS2 a few years ago and it was called Americas Most Wanted and Osama was one of them and apparently if you found him you'd win irl cash for it
