Bin Laden may enter India: FBI

NEW DELHI: A senior FBI official visited India last week to alert intelligence agencies of the possibility of Osama Bin Laden sneaking into India, official sources said on Monday.

The Pakistan-based official sought Indian assistance for joint operations by Indian and US forces to nab Bin Laden if he crossed over to India from northeastern Pakistan.

The official’s visit followed India’s reports’ of spotting Bin Laden in northeastern Pakistan, close to the Pakistan-China-India border, sources added.

They said the FBI official met senior officials of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), Intelligence Bureau (IB), Border Security Force (BSF) and Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP).

The FBI official offered to share intelligence with Indian agencies about areas of common interest like Afghanistan, the sources said.

Indian defence sources on Monday dismissed news reports that an Indian Air Force spy planes had spotted Bin Laden’s convoy in northeastern Pakistan. One official, speaking on condition of anonymity said that Bin Laden could be living in Karachi, where many of his senior Al Qaeda and Taliban operatives had found safe houses.

The US Fox News Channel and a website with Israeli links claimed that Indian Air Force planes spotted Bin Laden’s convoy a few days ago near the Tibet-Ladakh region, close to the northeastern border of Pakistan. courtesy times of india
