    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Osama bin Laden is hiding on the territory of
    one of the central Asian states of the former USSR, Richard Clarke,
    former presidential adviser on counter-terrorism said in an interview
    with the National Public Radio. "You are looking for him throughout
    Pakistan and can't find him. Maybe it's just because he is not there,"
    he said. However he did not exclude bin Laden may be in Somali or
    Iran. Russia refused to comment on the statement.

    "We do not know whether such statements are grounded and cannot
    comment on them," said the press office of the Russian Intelligence
    Service. In response to the statement by the U.S. official the law
    enforcement bodies of Kyrgyzstan said today they do not possess any
    information on the issue.

    "This statement should be given serious treatment," Secretary of
    the Security Council of the republic said. He underscored he doesn't
    exclude the possibility of bin Laden's appearance in the region.

    The Central Asian republics should be vigilant, he added.

    Bin Laden is the "most wanted" man in the western countries. As part
    of an intensified effort to capture terrorist mastermind Osama bin
    Laden, the State Department is considering doubling the bounty on his
    head to $50 million. Bin Laden was rumored in the press to have died,
    however the rumors did not prove true. In an address to the U.S. Osama
    bin Laden urged to return the body of his top deputy Musab al-Zarqawi,
    who was killed in Iraq June 7. Washington said the voice was genuine,
    reported Vsglyad Russian newspaper.
