Musharraf Downplays Bin Laden as Threat
When will Osama bin Laden and his top deputy be caught? This is the question that Pervez Musharraf says he still gets a lot. The Pakistani president insists it is more important for his 100,000 troops on the Afghan border to root out the Taliban than search for al-Qaida leaders. Musharraf said it doesn't mean much that bin Laden and Aayman al-Zawahri are still at large. He suggested they are far less a threat to his regime than Taliban-linked militants entrenched in Pakistan's west. They are believed to be hiding somewhere in the lawless tribal areas along Afghanistan's frontier with Pakistan. What do you think? Do you think we will ever catch them?
