...edge in tanks and warplanes counts for nothing against such threats, so other methods need to be found. Moreover, some serious dangers come not from national armed forces but from groups like al-Qaeda, against which conventional doctrines won't work. How are we supposed to deter Osama bin Laden when we can't find...
...center fed to foreign police. A country-by-country scorecard is kept of the people nabbed, and periodically a chart of top al-Qaeda operatives is sent to Bush, color-coded to highlight the ones put out of action. So far, 10 of the 24 men the CIA considers bin Laden's senior lieutenants are dead or in custody. Pakistani forces, with the help of intelligence from the center, last week raided an al-Qaeda hideout near the Afghan border. The four-hour gun battle killed 10 Pakistani soldiers and at least two al-Qaeda fighters. The CTC has assembled...
...final prize, of course, is bin Laden, who the CIA thinks is hiding along the Afghan-Pakistani border. Since 1995, the center has had a special station devoted to bin Laden, made up of more than 50 CIA officers who have studied everything they could find on the man.

His 14 senior lieutenants still at large are on the run, but according to the CIA, they are plotting and sending out orders to a terrorism network that...
While intelligence officials are not certain whether Osama bin Laden is alive or dead, they have found a tantalizing document that suggests he was living at least as recently as the last days of December.

The evidence, according to a source who has seen a French intelligence analysis of it, is a short handwritten letter, bearing bin Laden's signature, to al-Qaeda operations chief Abu Zubaydah. The note, which was among the documents found on Abu Zubaydah when...
...undisclosed location, is also proving rich. "Abu Zubaydah's papers are saying more than he is," says Roland Jacquard, a terrorism expert close to the office of the French President. Among the documents are plans for attacks on tankers and cruise ships, says Jacquard, as well as evidence that bin Laden's son Saad was also in Faisalabad, though he evaded capture. As for the elder bin Laden, even if he is still alive, evidence of his failing health is mounting. Intelligence experts have long believed that bin Laden suffers from kidney trouble-perhaps brought on by diabetes-that requires...
