Excerpt:
Hazrat Ali, defense chief of the U.S.-backed alliance of eastern tribes, said Friday his forces found a cave thought to be bin Laden\ufffds personal shelter as they surrounded a large number of his al-Qaida guerrillas on a mountain ridge in the area.
Earlier Friday, Ali, relying on running radio reports from the battlefield, told reporters his men had captured, entered and searched the cave. However, later he said they only located it and were trying to capture it.
\ufffdThere is one cave surrounded by my forces. ... I think there is one place inside where Osama is,\ufffd he said.
Ali gave no further details and did not specify why he thought bin Laden might be inside the cave, one of several in a gorge where his tribesmen were fighting al-Qaida forces amid heavy U.S. aerial bombing. He said that the battle for the position was continuing Friday and that there were many al-Qaida dead and wounded.
\ufffdThey are surrounded, and they cannot escape,\ufffd he said. His claim could not be independently verified because Western journalists have been barred from the battle zone.
Said Mohammed Pahalawn, a deputy of Mohammed Zaman, who commands another alliance faction, said 100 to 120 al-Qaida fighters were surrounded in a depression on the mountain ridge and were under attack from the ground and the air.
\ufffdWe have seen the place,\ufffd Pahalawn said of bin Laden\ufffds cave. \ufffdThe U.S. is bombing the area, but the opening of the cave is safe from bombing. The bombs can\ufffdt reach it.\ufffd
I say:
Bombs can't reach it? Is there an overhang or something? Maybe a guided missile coming in at a low angle will do the job.
