London, Jul 12 (PTI) Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and other top operatives of the terrorist network are hiding in Afghanistan, probably in Kunar area, Pakistan''s Interior Minister Rehman Malik has said, describing as futile US drone attacks within his country as no "big fish" was present there. "If Osama was in Pakistan we would know, with all the thousands of troops we have sent into the tribal areas in recent months.

"If he and all these four or five top people were in our areas they would have been caught, the way we are searching," Malik told ''The Sunday Times'', adding that US missile attacks against them in Pakistan are futile. According to information available with Pakistani officials, Osama is in Afghanistan, probably Kunar, as most of the activities against Pakistan are being directed from Kunar, he said.

Pakistani officials say that the US has carried out more than 40 drone attacks inside Pakistani territory in the past 10 months, killing hundreds of people. CIA officials claim these attacks have been highly effective in disrupting al-Qaeda''s ability to operate.

However, Malik insisted they are a waste of time because the al-Qaeda leadership is on the other side of the border in eastern Afghanistan. "They''re getting mid-level people not big fish", he said.

He is dreaming

It's interesting - while the Pakistani president wants Drone technology and the Pakistani public want US to target baitullah mehsud by drones - the interior minister says these attacks are "futile" - it's interesting the level of internal cohesion - these govt officials have not a clue as to what staying on message might mean.

Sounds like a "you play ball, we play ball" kind of a thing. CIA and some US senators at times suddenly blurt out Osama is hiding in Pak. Rehman Malik in return says he's in Afghanistan. The way the border is there he could've been mobile between the two countries all these years, maybe he still is if he's not dead.

Pakistani government is making himself look suspicious now because lately it seems like Pakistani government is aware of everything and anything which is happening in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. If they do know where those people are then I am sure they even might have an way to reach them, but if they are just guessing then it's best for them to stop it because like this they are giving wrong image of Pakistani government internationally.
