U.S. envoy: Bin Laden may no longer have operational control of al-Qaeda

Osama bin Laden may no longer have operational control of his terror network, the U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan told a gathering of local journalists Monday, according to two Pakistani television channels.

Ryan Crocker was quoted as saying bin Laden cannot communicate with his followers because he is likely hiding in a very remote area, Pakistan's Geo Television and state-run PTV reported after the meeting. (AP)
