Terrorist Osama bin-Ladin has been located by Western intelligence agencies at a series of new safe havens close to the Pakistani border in eastern Afghanistan, according to reports Sunday in London. Bin-Ladin, who was said to have disappeared from his former hideout in northern Afghanistan, is widely considered to have been responsible for masterminding and funding a string of terrorist attacks, most recently the simultaneous car-bombings of two U.S. embassies last August in Kenya and Tanzania. The renegade Saudi billionaire, whose family made its fortune in the mosque construction business, is believed to control some 3,000 potential Islamic terrorists worldwide in his declared war against “Jews and Crusaders.”
