Bin Laden 'Cut Off From al-Qaeda'

[tekisui]

The CIA says Osama Bin Laden is isolated from the day-to-day operations of al-Qaeda, but that the organisation is still the greatest threat to the US.

CIA director Michael Hayden said the Saudi militant was probably hiding in the tribal area of north-west Pakistan.

Mr Hayden said Bin Laden was "putting a lot of energy into his own survival" and that his capture remained the US government's top priority.

But he warned that al-Qaeda was still spreading in Africa and the Mid-East.

In a speech to the Atlantic Council on Thursday, Mr Hayden said: " is putting a lot of energy into his own survival, a lot of energy into his own security."


"In fact, he appears to be largely isolated from the day-to-day operations of the organisation he nominally heads."

However, Gen Hayden added: "If there is a major strike on this country, it will bear the fingerprints of al-Qaeda."

The CIA believes progress has been made in curbing al-Qaeda's activities in the Philippines, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Iraq.

I don't trust a word out of Hayden's fuckface. How can he say "If there is a major strike on this country, it will bear the fingerprints of al-Qaeda." He can see the future? He knows every single threat, and knows that only al-Qaeda is credible? :wtf:

1. Sounds like Osama's getting bored down in his cave

2. He misspoke

He meant to say, "If there is a major strike on this country, it was planned in Obama's living room."
