Osama, supporters move to Uruzgan?


By M. Ismail Khan

PESHAWAR, Sept 21: Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden has gone into hiding in
Afghanistan's southwestern Uruzgan along with scores of his supporters,
highly competent sources in Afghanistan said.

"Bin Laden has also moved his family of three wives and several children from
his house in Kandahar to Uruzgan - native province of Taliban supreme leader
Mullah Muhammad Omar," the sources said, quoting latest reports.

Osama, whom the United States believes is a prime suspect in the Sept 11
terrorist attacks in Washington and New York, lived near the Afghan Airforce
Colony in Kandahar Airport but vacated his abode to escape possible
retaliatory attacks, the sources said. "The place was protected by an
anti-aircraft gun," the sources said.

These sources described Bin Laden as "a security-minded man who does not stay
at one place for more than two nights". The sources said he decided to move
out of Kandahar last week as Washington threatened to launch reprisal attacks
on Afghanistan for providing a sanctuary to him and the alleged terrorist
training camps.

"He has been moving between Uruzgan and Helmand provinces," the sources said.
Previously, the Saudi dissident would move around between Khajkai dam in
Helmand, Zarang in Nemroz, Mass-e-Ainak in Logar, Darunta and Tora Bora in
Nangarhar, Tahkhtabeg Fort in Khost and Bacha Kuroona in Bagh-i-Bala in
Kabul.

The sources that have a fairly comprehensive knowledge of Bin Laden's
operations in Afghanistan said the Saudi dissident maintained liaison offices
of Al-Qaida in Corps Headquarters in Kandahar and the ministry of defence in
Kabul.

No one, however, was allowed to have direct access to Laden who would meet
people at the guest houses near his Kandahar Airport residence. According to
the sources, Laden kept his movement secret and announced his itinerary at
the spur of the moment. Only his close confidants or a key Taliban leader
close to Mulla Omar knew his whereabouts, the sources added. These sources
said that for external security, 50 to 60 Afghans from Paghman and Laghman
provinces protected Laden. Besides the Afghans, said these sources, another
batch of ready-to-die 150 Arabs had taken oath of allegiance to Laden,
pledging to protect him with their lives.

These sources further said that Laden, who was widely believed to be a
millionaire, had exhausted his funds and relied heavily on donations from
individuals in the Gulf, Saudi Arabia and other countries. "He avoided normal
banking channels and would get money through the non-formal Hawala system
under fictitious Arab and Afghan names."

These knowledgeable sources said that Laden preferred to live in ordinary mud
houses and travelled in identical pick-ups and Land Cruisers without any
registration number.
