Pakistan claims no information on Laden

“It is not to arrest one particular person but to curb terrorism in all its forms and manifestations,” said Sherpao in an interview.

“We have no information on his (bin Laden’s) whereabouts,” he said. Asked whether the most wanted man for the US could be hiding along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, Sherpao said that he cannot speculate “unless we get credible information” on his presence there.

Yesterday, Al-Jazeera, broadcast a new audiotape purportedly from bin Laden.

In the tape, bin Laden issued new threats and accused the United States and Europe of supporting a “zionist” war on Islam by cutting off funds to the Hamas-led Palestinian government.
