KABUL: The outgoing US ambassador to Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad has said that he was disappointed that Osama bin Laden remained at large but pledged the Al-Qaeda leader would be captured.

"Well, I'm disappointed that he has not been captured," he told newsmen in Kabul at a ceremony where he handed over books to the Afghan foreign ministry as part of a drive to promote American culture.

"But our military and intelligence are working very hard on this issue. Sooner or later he will be caught or he will be found dead," Khalilzad said, without giving any dateline.

"You know looking for one person in a vast area is not easy but eventually he will be found," he added.

The Afghan-born US diplomat who is preparing to leave Afghanistan as President George W. Bush's special envoy and ambassador for a similar
job in Iraq said the hunt for
Bin Laden continued.

1. Wouldn't it be funny if it turned out that...

...bin Hidin has never been off the CIA payroll? That 911 was an Northwoods style of thing, and his Evil Fugitive character a panto role taken on at BushCo's request?

Wouldn't that just be a stitch?
