The _Sunday Express_ in Lon­don is report­ing that U.S. and British Spe­cial
Osama bin Laden, the Napoleon of Ter­rorForces have cor­nered Osama bin Laden in the moun­tains of north­west­ern Pak­istan and are just wait­ing for the word to go get him. We’ll see how this plays out. The _Express_ isn’t always the most reli­able of news­pa­pers.
_[I updated the link to a bet­ter ver­sion of the story — thanks, Steve! — and cor­rected a mis­spelled word in title. “Cor­nerd”? Jeeze. — Ed.]_
UPDATE 8:04 PM EST Pak­istan is “deny­ing any knowl­edge that bin Laden is trapped”:http://www.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,8764279%255E401,00.html.

Infor­ma­tion Min­is­ter Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said bin Laden had not been “boxed in”.
“I do not have any such infor­ma­tion,” he said.

Curi­ouser and curi­ouser. There have been mut­ter­ings of bin Laden’s immi­nent cap­ture for weeks, and the “spring offensive”:http://www.back-to-iraq.com/archives/000668.php#000668 against the tribal areas is likely gear­ing up. I thought it was weird that the U.S. was so open about its plans to step up against al Qaeda, but on reflec­tion, feel the Pen­ta­gon was try­ing to flush bin Laden out. Has it done so or is this just more dis­in­for­ma­tion designed to spread con­fu­sion among bin Laden’s followers?
