Bin Laden, Zawahiri might be in hiding in Pak’s Bajaur Agency: Musharraf to McCain

ISLAMABAD - Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf told United States Senator John McCain about the possibility of the presence of al Qaeda leadership- Osama Bin Laden and Ayman Al-Zawahiri- in Pakistan’s tribal region, a diplomatic cable unveiled by whistle-blower website WikiLeaks has revealed.

The US embassy cable quoted Musharraf, as saying that although he had no direct evidence, he thought that Bin Laden and Zawahiri were hiding in Pakistan’s Bajaur Agency bordering Afghanistan’s Konar province, where US forces were not deployed, GEO Pakistan reported.

Musharraf, however, added that Taliban leader Mullah Omar was not present in Balochistan. (ANI)
