Not in Pakistan

President Pervez Musharraf has said he would prefer Osama Bin Laden captured outside Pakistan - and by someone else.
He told Time magazine he did not know where the al-Qaeda leader was, but thought the "safest" hiding place for him was on the Pakistan-Afghan border.

Gen Musharraf did not say why he wanted Bin Laden caught outside Pakistan.

But many observers expect a backlash from Pakistanis opposed to the US-led "war on terror" if the world's most wanted man is arrested in Pakistan.

President Musharraf has played a pivotal role in the "war on terror" ever since the 11 September, 2001 attacks on the US, for which al-Qaeda is blamed.

Hundreds of alleged al-Qaeda members have been arrested in Pakistan, among them a number of key suspects.
