...year-old Saudi-born Palestinian in a villa near Faisalabad, Pakistan. On the evening of March 27, Tenet and as many of the task-force members as could fit into the ground-floor conference room crowded around speakerphones that were patched into a team of CIA, FBI and Pakistani intelligence agents raiding the villa...
Even if U.S. spooks get a bead on bin Laden inside Pakistan, the options for finishing the job have become riskier. American commandos don't have the local knowledge to work effectively in Pakistan's tribal areas, and any U.S. military hit on Pakistani soil could inflame the country's restive population.

Since 1995, the center has had a special station devoted to bin Laden, made up of more than 50 CIA officers who have studied everything they could find on the man. Even though his top command has been cut almost in half, the CTC's officers know that bin Laden remains a powerful enemy. His 14 senior lieutenants still at large are on the run, but according to the CIA, they are plotting and sending out orders to a terrorism network that...
