Iran denies rumors it has arrested bin Laden
Mon Feb 21 2005 10:20:00 ET

Iran denied Monday suggestions on some local Internet sites that it arrested Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, the Western world's most wanted man, on the border with Pakistan.

"This information is wrong and bin Laden has not been arrested by our security forces," government spokesman Abdollah Ramezanzadeh said at a weekly press briefing.

Some Iranian Internet sites quoted American officials as saying the Al-Qaeda leader, who has a 25-million-dollar US bounty on his head, had been arrested two weeks ago by Iranian forces.

The Saudi-born militant is blamed for the September 11, 2001 terror strikes on the United States and a string of other attacks around the world.



Here's my two cents: I have a gut feeling that they have him and that right now the US and Iran are in pretty constant contact. If this story just 'fades away' then my bet is that Iran is providing refuge to Osama and we will never get him.
