U.S. Near Seizing Bin Laden, Official Says



By MATTHEW PENNINGTON, Associated Press Writer


ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The United States and its allies have moved closer to capturing Osama bin Laden in the last two months, a top U.S. counterterrorism official said in a television interview broadcast.

Joseph Cofer Black, U.S. State Department coordinator for counterterrorism, said he could not predict when bin Laden and other top al-Qaida fugitives would be nabbed.
"If he has a watch, he should be looking at it because the clock is ticking. He will be caught," Black, told private Geo television network here Saturday.

Asked if concrete progress had been made during the last two months -- when Pakistan has arrested dozens of terror suspects including some key al-Qaida operatives -- Black said, "Yes, I would say this."

"What I tell people, I would be surprised but not necessarily shocked if we wake up tomorrow and he's been caught along with all his lieutenants. That can happen because of the programs and infrastructure in place," he told Geo.
