Shaker Aamer's lawyer denies the allegations, made after British Prime Minister Gordon Brown last week requested the release of the Saudi, who has been an unofficial leader among the detainees, and four other former residents of Britain. The Bush administration, which has been urging other nations to accept Guantanamo prisoners amid international pressure to close the military jail,...

The message, which aired shortly after Obama's arrival in the kingdom, came a day after bin Laden's deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, called Obama a criminal and warned Muslims not to fall for his polished words, part of a propaganda effort to pre-empt Obama's Cairo speech.

In fact, as premier Bhutto had “warned America about Osama bin Laden in 1989 with a call to then US president George H.

He was evasive when asked if his government is actively looking for Bin Laden, saying only that "the world" is looking for him.

Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari made the claim before reporters in the capital Islamabad, where he said his country's Inter-Services Intelligence spy directorate had made the assessment. "He may be dead. But that's been said before," Zardari said. "It's still between fiction and fact."

While this may be true, several eyewitness reports and unverified intelligence point to a different location: the Islamic Republic of Iran. Despite its Shiite radicalism, Iran has harbored the Sunni Bin Laden in the past and may even harbor him today. The idea that Bin Laden could have taken refuge in Iran is controversial, but al-Qaeda’s presence inside the country is well-documented. On January 16, the Treasury Department placed sanctions on several high-level al-Qaeda operatives in Iran. The Department indictment clearly states that some of these operatives helped...
