Defense Secretary Says Capturing Bin Laden Would Not Change the
Problem of Terrorism

By Robert Burns
The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) - Capturing or killing al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden would not "change the problem" of international terrorism, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Tuesday.

Rumsfeld also raised the possibility that bin Laden was dead.

"The reality is that bin Laden is spending a great deal of his time - if he is alive today - hiding and running and trying to communicate and trying to survive," Rumsfeld said in an interview at the Pentagon with WTN radio in Nashville.

Because of the pressure on bin Laden, al-Qaida and its affiliates have become more decentralized, Rumsfeld said.
