Can we get Bin Lauden now?

"08 June 2010: Yesterday the highly reliable Kuwaiti daily newpaper Al-Seyassah once again published extraordinary intelligence information regarding the location of Osama bin Laden. Confirming the long-term assessment of former American intelligence and counter-terrorism officers Al-Siyassa reports that Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahri and five top Al-Qaeda lieutenants have hiding in the town of Sabzevar, Islamic Republic of Iran for the past five years. This breaking news bulletin has been picked up from Al-Siyassa by MEMRI and Israel?s DEBKAfile.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis June 8, 2010, 12:16 AM (GMT+02:00)
Osama bin Laden?s hiding place was pinned down for the first time Monday, June 7, by the Kuwaiti Al-Siyassa Monday, June 7, as the mountainous town of Savzevar in the northeastern Iranian province of Khorasan, 220 km west of Mashhad. He is said to have lived there under Tehran?s protection for the last five years, along with Ayman Al-Zawahiri and five other high-ranking al Qaeda leaders.debkafile?s intelligence sources disclosed Monday night that Turkish prime minister Recep Erdogan and his intelligence chiefs are well aware that Bin Laden and Zawahiri are hiding in Iran. The leak to the Kuwait paper was intended to show the Obama administration that the Turkish leader?s ties with Iran had grown intense enough for him to be fully in the picture of Iran?s secret sanctuary for the authors of the 9/11 attacks on the United States.

A rare opportunity may now be building up to capture the world?s most wanted terrorist, debkafile?s counter-terror sources report. Last December, US Defense Secretary Robert Gates acknowledged the United States has not had any good intelligence on bin Laden?s whereabouts in years. Until recently, the elusive master-terrorist was generally thought to have gone to ground in the wilder parts of Pakistan-Afghanistan border region."

Interesting...wonder about the amount of truth?

I think the U.S. has known for several years that he is in Iran and were not able to do anything about it.

Agreed- but the first story I saw on this was from Israel. They are , (or that paper's article did) saying that things were too hot and Iran was going to force him to leave the country. If that were to be true it might present a shot at him.
