The US military is winding up its search for Osama bin Laden at Tora Bora. They had no success at finding him in the cave complex which has been destroyed by bombing.
General Tommy Franks, commander of the US war effort, confessed that the weeks-long search of the Tora Bora complex had failed.
There is a suspicion that he may be in Pakistan, but the Pentagon has decided to end public reports about its hunt for the leading terrorists: it claims that intelligence sources were being compromised by public discussion of the manhunt.
