Troops moved to bin Laden hunt

| UP to 400 elite British, American, Australian, Polish and Canadian special forces troopers are to be transferred from Iraq to Afghanistan to step up the hunt for Osama bin Laden, the world's most wanted man. |
This could be interesting.....

The soldiers facing relocation from Iraq are from Task Force 121, operating out of a base at Balad and Task Force Black, based in Baghdad.
They are the teams responsible for locating Abu Musab al Zarqawi, the al Qaeda terrorist leader killed last week in a US airstrike near Baquba.
The clandestine units were also central in capturing Saddam Hussein, cornering and killing his sons Uday and Qusay, and rescuing the British hostage Norman Kember. |
Well, if any force could find bin Laden, it would be these guys I guess. With little or no intelligence about his actual position, it sure isn't going to be an easy assignment...though apparently more and more information is coming in.
This could be it for Osama.. |

| Based on the fact that past osama hunts haven't met with much success, coupled with the fact that they got Zarqawi because A) rather than lying low like osama, he was an attention grabber and B) they were tipped off by somebody in his organization, I'm not holding my breath. Nevertheless, it would be a pleasant surprise to be proven wrong. |
