Saddam capture turns hunt back to Osama
The capture of Saddam Hussein could make it easier to catch the world’s other top fugitive – al-Qaida mastermind Osama bin Laden – and dampen support for the growing insurgency in Afghanistan, allied officials in Kabul claimed.
Bin Laden is believed to be hiding in the mountainous no man’s land between Pakistan and Afghanistan, possibly feeding off the support of deeply conservative tribal villagers who share his hardline vision of Islam.
