Afghan warlord 'aided Bin Laden'

Afghan warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar says his fighters helped al-Qaeda leader
Osama Bin Laden escape a US offensive five years ago.

Bin Laden was moved to "a safe place" when the US assault on the Tora Bora
mountains began in late 2001, the Hezb-e-Islami leader told Pakistani TV.

Mr Hekmatyar said Ayman al-Zawahiri, al-Qaeda's second-in-command, was also
taken to the undisclosed location.

The rare interview was broadcast on Thursday by the private Geo TV network.

1. And when Kerry brought this up every week since it happened, the WH said he was lying

and that Kerry would say anything to bash Bush. Media gave Tommy Franks all the reverence and time he wanted to attack Kerry as a liar about Tora Bora after the debates where Kerry AGAIN stated the facts about Tora Bora to the American people.

Guess who the corpmedia sided with. Guess who was telling the truth.
