Pakistan’s Taliban said al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is still alive and reports of his death are baseless, Karachi-based GEO Television reported, citing a statement from the group.
Bin Laden, founder of the terrorist network responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, was killed in Pakistan by U.S. forces early yesterday at a house where he had been hiding, President Barack Obama said in Washington. The strike came after years of “painstaking” work by the American intelligence community, he said.
