The world's most wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden, is alive and kicking and is hiding in Pakistan, the US said on Thursday.
CIA Director Leon Panetta said the Pakistan military was closing in on the mastermind of 9/11 attack as the crack down intensified in the country's west.
When asked whether he was sure that Laden was in Pakistan, Panetta said, "The last information we had, that's still the case." He said, "finding Laden was one of CIA's major priorities."
The CIA chief admitted that Al Qaeda was still "the most serious security threat" to the United States and its leaders.
He believed that Laden was running out of places to hide and the possible safe havens for the Al Qaeda chief were decreasing in number.
Space for Laden shrinking: US think tank
The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said specifically that the space for Laden was shrinking.
The US think-tank said, "Pakistan army's offensive against Taliban in Swat and other areas have pushed Osama to the edge."
It was too soon to say how that operation would play out, but the CSIS studies said Pakistan's policy could serve as a "dual anvil" along with the US activities from the Afghan side, to actually pressure Al Qaeda.
The second element shrinking Laden's possible location was the 21,000 additional US troops pouring into Afghanistan. And another factor that might help smoke out Osama was the drone attacks.
