The 'safest place' for Osama bin Laden to seek sanctuary is the rugged Pakistan-Afghanistan border, President Pervez Musharraf said in an interview with 'Time' magazine released on Sunday. The President said that Pakistan officials a year ago "had some identification of a rough area where he was, through technical means, but then we lost him.
"That is how intelligence works. You can get to a person immediately, or you can just lose him immediately," he said. "I think the safest place would be on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, because this line we are not including in each other's areas. Therefore, you can easily switch sides." "One would prefer that he is captured somewhere outside Pakistan, by some other people," Musharraf said.
