10:14 ET More on bin Laden
ABC News reports that the CIA and Pakistani Army are electronically tracking a large caravan of people which could include Usama bin Laden through the rugged mountain area of Pakistan between the borders with Iran and Afghanistan; U.S. officials say they are not 100% sure that bin Laden is in the caravan, but they have a high degree of probability that he is and have closed off the area to all other traffic. The area is so rugged that officials may not be able to move in with military vehicles, but instead could launch an operation with CIA paramilitary forces attacking the caravan from helicopters if it is determined that bin Laden is there.
=============================================================
Seems odd that they would broadcast such a thing before the capture. No doubt if it is Bin Laden they are listening to the news. If it is in a rugged mountain area Bin Laden might not be so easy to capture. Helicopters did not work so well in the mountains of Afghanistan.
