Kabul, 25 April 2007 - Mullah Dadullah, the Taliban commander in the southern Afghan province of Helmand, has said that al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is alive and he planned the attack in Afghanistan against US vice president Dick Cheney." Dadullah said this in an interview with Arabic satellite television channel Al Jazeera referring to the 27 February suicide attack on the main US military base in Bagram, when Cheney was there on a visit. The Taliban had claimed responsibility for that attack in which at least nine people were killed.
"We thank Allah that he [Osama bin Laden] is still alive," said the Taliban commander. "We know that he plans attacks whether in Iraq or in Afghanistan. As you know, there was an attack against the base in Bagram targeting an important representative of the American administration. The operation was successful and was the fruit of our work," he said.

Bomb Making Materials Seized In Jolo
Philippines: Military officials seized approximately 1,320 lb/600 kg of chemicals that are commonly used in manufacturing explosive devices on the southern island of Jolo on 25 April 2007.
