WANA, Pakistan -- A pro-Taliban Pakistani tribal leader, who was backed by the Pakistani Army in a campaign to evict Central Asian Al Qaeda-linked fighters from tribal lands, said yesterday that he would provide refuge to Osama bin Laden.

Mullah Maulvi Nazir said he has never met the fugitive Al Qaeda leader but is ready to protect him in South Waziristan tribal region, near the Afghan border, for the cause of "oppressed people."

"If he comes here and wants to live according to tribal traditions, then we can provide protection to him because we support oppressed people," Nazir told journalists in Wana, the main town of South Waziristan.

Nazir said he had no information on where bin Laden might be hiding.

The whereabouts of the world's most-wanted man, who carries a $25 million bounty on his head, has remained a mystery since the Sept. 11, 2001, Al Qaeda attacks on the United States. He is widely believed to be somewhere in tribal lands on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

2. His whereabouts since 9/11 have NOT been a mystery

Our troops could hear him talking through radio transmissions in late 2001.

But Bush forgot about him, and made the decision to go to Iraq instead.
