US commandos chase Saudi billionaire

Itar - Tass said that a group of US commandos secretly arrived during the current month in Pakistan to chase Saudi billionaire Osama Bin Laden, accused of being involved in a bombing in Saudi Arabia that resulted in the deaths of US soldiers.

Pakistani dailies said the commandos, together with members of the CIA, were positioned in Beshawer, near the borders with Afghanistan, where a Yemeni citizen was recently arrested, presumably because of his contacts with Bin Laden.

Investigating the arrested Yemeni, the US tried to learn where Bin Laden is hidden. He is believed to be in a camp on the Pakistani - Afghani borders under protection of Arab bodyguards.

Reports of the secret US military activity raised great concern in Pakistani political circles. Last week, Islamabad's government refuted statements made by the Pakistani dailies on the deployment of the CIA to arrest Bin Laden.
