Where is Osama bin Laden? His whereabouts cannot be pinpointed by official military and intelligence sources, despite the drones that fly day and night over the Afghan-Pakistani border. Nor can his hiding place be determined by members of the media, who continue to provide “C notes” to Pashtuns and Tajiks for useless information. To discover the whereabouts of the world’s most wanted man, it is best to turn to unofficial yet reliable sources.

Osama is almost always surrounded by fawning attendants who hail him not as Sultan bin Laden or Emir bin Laden but rather as “awaited enlightened one,” the title reserved for the Mahdi.”
The Mahdi is the rightly guided caliph who will appear during the last days of human history. His coming is foretold by the Haddith, the sacred teachings that supplement the Koran. In such writings, the Mahdi is depicted as the figure who will bring forth the “Day of Islam,” when all people throughout the world – believers and unbelievers alike – will fall in submission before the throne of Allah.

No Muslim will dare to capture or kill him – not even a squadron of elite military personnel from the Musharraf government, let alone a group of professional bounty hunters. It is the duty of all Muslims to honor the revered leader of the Mujahadeen, who has been ordained to bring forth the Day of Islam.
What’s more, bin Laden is protected by milmastia – the Islamic code of hospitality that demands protection for fellow Muslims who seek shelter in their country – even if such protection means risking their lives. Believing Muslims know that the $25 million reward comes with the price tag of apostasy and eternal damnation. Mercs point out that Pakistani soldiers and ISI officials are even unwilling to collar Osama and his cohorts when they appear in Peshawar. They don’t want to go to hell for money or Musharraf.
