Bin
Laden has packed out of Afghanistan, Intelligence
authorities, including those of the United States, Britain and Israel,
are warning against a strike of a nuclear, chemical or biological
nature.
DEBUKA
file summary
Osama
bin Laden has packed his entire family out of Afghanistan - wives,
sons and daughters - and their wives, husbands and offspring. Roughly
end of November, DEBKAfile’s intelligence
sources reveal, he transferred them to a prepared, well-guarded location
in West Pakistan, leaving himself unencumbered in his Afghan hideout.
Those sources interpret this step as supporting the volume of credible
evidence of a major terrorist strike in the offing, which has prompted
heightened terror alerts in the United States, Israel and the United
Kingdom in the last three days.
Target dates range variously from December 12 and the Christmas period
(December 23-26) to the first half of January.
Some intelligence authorities, including those of the United States,
Britain and Israel, are warning against a strike of a nuclear, chemical
or biological nature. A senior Israeli military source spoke this
week about a world-scale assault, hinting at a multiple-targeted assault.
American intelligence sources postulate simultaneous strikes in New
York and/or a second big US city, plus London and/or Tel Aviv and
another Israeli town.
The
US government Saturday morning advised American citizens to postpone
traveling to Israel and Palestinian-ruled areas, including parts of
Jerusalem. The earlier White House maximum alert announcement, the
third since September 11, warned against attacks on American soil
and against US interests around the world.

Until
Tuesday, November 27, the bin Laden family were still together in
Afghanistan. US reconnaissance photos taken in the Tora Bora mountain
cave area gave rise to the US intelligence assumption that the Saudi-born
terrorist was holed up there. Other intelligence bodies operating
in the country did not share this theory. In the light of the fresh
intelligence, the bin Laden kinfolk may have photographed during their
eastward move to the Pakistani frontier, in which case a rare opportunity
of capturing them was missed.
