A few days ago I blogged about the Indian government possibly having spotted Bin Laden. Soon after, some FBI agents were dispactched to India but nobody was sure why. Now several newsites, such as the dailytimes.com, are reporting the following:

A senior FBI official visited India last week to alert intelligence agencies of the possibility of Osama Bin Laden sneaking into India, official sources said on Monday.

The Pakistan-based official sought Indian assistance for joint operations by Indian and US forces to nab Bin Laden if he crossed over to India from northeastern Pakistan.

The officialÂ’s visit followed IndiaÂ’s reportsÂ’ of spotting Bin Laden in northeastern Pakistan, close to the Pakistan-China-India border, sources added.

They said the FBI official met senior officials of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), Intelligence Bureau (IB), Border Security Force (BSF) and Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP).

If this is true it lends more credence to my previous entry. Hey, sneaking over to India worked for the Dalai Lama.
