WASHINGTON, June 15 (Online): Terror mastermind Osama bin Laden is in eastern Iran and not the rugged tribal areas of Pakistan's northwestern frontier where many believe him to be on the run, US intelligence officials said on Monday.
In interviews to the Washington Times, the US officials said the Iran theory, which is held by a minority, is based on bits of intelligence information and the fact that months of CIA operations, along with search-and-destroy sweeps by thousands of Pakistani troops have failed to find the al-Qaida chief.
Asked whether the US intelligence community thinks bin Laden may be in Iran, a senior administration official told the paper: "Some people think he is."
End.

The truth is that Bin Laden has been right in every case conserning Usa politics and tyranny. So why to hint this brave man? Posted by , Pakistan
They are trying to pin Iran down. They will not capture Osama-bin-Laden even he goes to White House and request them to arrest him. Because, once that happens they will not find any excuse to invade and devastate a country. Posted by Dipak_Dholakia, India
