PARIS (AP) -- Osama bin Laden narrowly escaped capture by French troops working with American forces in Afghanistan, perhaps several times, the head of France's armed forces said Monday.

French soldiers are determined to capture the fugitive head of the al-Qaida network by the end of the year, Gen. Henri Bentegeat said Monday.

``Our men were not very far,'' Bentegeat told France's Europe-1 radio station. ``On several occasions, I even think that he slipped out of a net that was well closed.''

I'm not saying this is any more credible than Bush's constantly claiming to be "thaaaat close", but man, wouldn't that be an awfully big crow for * to have to eat if the FRENCH caught bin Laden.
