CIA Rushing Resources to Bin Laden Hunt

March 05, 2007 3:47 PM

Brian Ross Reports:

Armed with fresh intelligence, the CIA is moving additional man power and equipment into Pakistan in the effort to find Osama bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al Zawahri, U.S. officials tell ABC News.

"Reports that the trail has gone stone cold are not correct," said one U.S. official. "We are very much increasing our efforts there," the official said.

People familiar with the CIA operation say undercover officers with paramilitary training have been ordered into Pakistan and the area across the border with Afghanistan as part of the ramp-up.

Although never publicly acknowledged, Pakistan has permitted CIA teams to secretly operate inside Pakistan.

Pakistan officials say they are aware that CIA teams have increased their presence in northern Waziristan since last September when Pakistan withdrew its troops from the area under a much-criticized "peace deal" with tribal leaders.

Thanks for the ping.

Ben laden is dead.

[Beckwith]

I won't believe that until I see his ****ing head on a pike planted outside Ground Zero.

By this logic, you must believe Crazy Horse is still alive.

[theDentist]

No, we know he died 130 years ago. But we have no way of knowing if OBL is mouldering in a grave. But I still want to see his corpse.

Friends of the Vanity Fair cover girl, and his wife, no doubt.

[bubman]

Maybe it's by design!

Psy ops and all

[Dog]

He is not dead....man I can't wait for the day to prove you wrong.....and all the other doubting Thomas's.

[SunkenCiv]

I hope they took along some hungry hogs...

[Doofer]

Why does The President just sit back and do nothing about these 'officials' leaking strategic info to our enemies in the media and overseas?

Hopefully this is misinformation that's being leaked.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

How many hogs do you need again? Was it eight. "They go thru bones like butter".

[rbosque]

Bin-Laden's not so brave if he hides in caves and lets others die for his cause. I hope when caught, we can expose this devil for what he is and hang 'em high at "ground zero".

[SunkenCiv]

:')

[ohioWfan]

PLEASE get him!!

[Danae]

Turn on the lights and the roaches scatter.

[yield 2 the right]

The last thing OBL ever is on this earth.....if he is not taking the eternal dirt nap already.......

[yield 2 the right]

is=sees
Darn spell check....

[plain talk]

It can't hurt to step up the pressure. Even if they don't get Bin Laden himself they may get other high level operatives.

[1L]

If he's under the rubble at Tora Bora, you'll never see that, and we'll never know for sure. Unfortunately, I think that's exactly where he is.

[popdonnelly]

"Friends of the Vanity Fair cover girl, and his wife, no doubt."

The usual suspects.

[Candor7]

If this is true, why is ABC publishing this information, a likely leak from a Bill Clinton appointee within the CIA to foil the operation and warn Osama's team to get into their hidy holes.

The CIA apparently still needs a radical house cleaning.

ABC deserves a singular covert ops to root out these CIA traitors , who put DNC politics before their nation, so that Republicans do not acheive traction with the public.
