US hunt for Laden yields no results
Afp, Washington
A major hunt for al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden launched by the US Central Intelligence Agency last year has produced no significant leads on his whereabouts, The Los Angeles Times reported on its website Saturday. But citing unnamed senior US intelligence officials, the newspaper said it has helped detect an significant increase in the movement of al-Qaeda operatives and money from Iraq into Pakistan's tribal territories. In one of the most troubling trends, US officials said that al-Qaeda's command base in Pakistan is being increasingly funded by cash coming out of Iraq, the report said.
