Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Osama bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri are believed to be hiding close to each other in houses in northwest Pakistan, but are not together, a senior NATO official said.

"Nobody in al Qaeda is living in a cave," said the official, who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the intelligence matters involved.

Rather, al Qaeda's top leadership is believed to be living in relative comfort, protected by locals and some members of the Pakistani intelligence services, the official said.

Yes: Thay have been playiong us like fools for years.

Pakistan is an outlaw territory in my opinion , Thy pose as a sovereign state ,but are not really of one Government, almost as tribal as Afghanistan and the only ay their Government gets along is to play along. It could collapse at any moment, and the frightening thing is they are a Nuclear power.

Yes. Pakistan has become (and only more so with the incredible naive and foolish handling by the Obama Admin) has gone from a quasi-ally to a strategic liability.

I made such statements a number of years ago. It's going to be tough to drop a JDAM on the goon. He probably is being waited on in some top notch hotel.

Good evening. I hope you are doing well.

There are only two reasons I come to these threads anymore. One is to see the Elvis bin Laden posting awards, and two is to post...

I say first we stop the $4,000,000,000 in aid the United States gives to that sewer. Second, we drop a nuke sucking all the air out of Afghanistan and Pakistan turning all of it into a huge parking lot. Third and last, we all go out into to the streets and celebrate the death of Islam just like they did when the Towers were attacked. What difference is a few fewer million camel jockeys on earth. Just my opinion of course.

I am too blonde to get why both sides need to keep up this CHARADE of the Boogeyman Osama.

Seriously, now. No video of him has ever surfaced after Tora Bora. The old videos they doctor up always have “video problems” at the exact moment that the “Osama voice” says all the new stuff about the real estate market in America and those other current items that were always so important to his cause.

Admit he died. Who cares if he becomes more of a martyr than he is among the terrorists? He is an ex-terrorist. He ceases to BE. He is nailed to his perch.

CIA could start a story that a Meteor is heading to earth. Each week, build on it, say its heading toward Mecca. Then Bam! Nuke it, and say wow, God hit Mecca.

Big deal. Unless we nuke the entire area, they won’t get him. His papa in the White House will not allow that. Sooooooo, the beat goes on.

How old would he be now if still alive, and what of the rumors of dialysis . No one can hde for this long.

Dialysis is no problem if he's in a house with power and a backup generator. The house could have a fully-equipped clinic.
