OK, this doesn't quite fit the "Middle East Special" format, but I thought you would like to know that Tokhir Normatov, Deputy Minister of Interior Affairs of Tajikistan, has said that Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was not found in Tajikistan. He said, "If he were here, we would have arrested him."
Earlier Kazakhstan also announced that Osama Bin Laden had not been found in the country.
