Bin Laden Has Left Afghanistan Says Senior Afghan Commander12-19-1ISLAMABAD (AFP) - Osama bin Laden has fled Afghanistan, a spokesman for a top Afghan military commander today said, according to Afghan Islamic Press. A spokesman for Haji Mohammad Zaman, military chief for Nangarhar province in eastern Afghanistan, which includes Tora Bora caves where al-Qaeda fighters have been defeated, said: "We are now confident that Osama bin Laden is not in Afghanistan." Zaman's forces claimed victory over al-Qaeda fighters in the White Mountain range at the weekend. US forces are still hunting for bin Laden. "Our operation in Tora Bora is over," said the spokesman in the provincial capital Jalalabad. "We have captured only 16 al-Qaeda fighters including some Afghans, while some others were held by other commanders," the spokesman said. He said Afghans had also turned against bin Laden and Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, who is also in hiding. "There is no question of providing any shelter to Osama," he said. Bin Laden's foreign followers have also fled. "There are no more Arabs in Tora Bora," Zaman's spokesman said. "We have pulled out our forces to Jalalabad and it is possible that some local groups would stay there. There is no bombing in Tora Bora now.
