Bin Laden no longer operational, claims terror judge

Osama bin Laden is not able to order operations from his hideout in Central Asia and focuses solely on trying to evade capture, one of Europe’s top anti-terrorism officials said Friday.

“As things stand today, with the pressure being exerted against this person and the leadership of al-Qaida, it would be hard to believe that he could still be operational and capable of giving orders,” Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzon said at the Conference on Transnational Crime in Monaco.
