BRITISH intelligence agents have discovered the position of terror chief
Osama bin Laden.

A specialist MI6 squad ‹ some working undercover in Afghanistan ‹ traced
the Al-Queda leader to a desolate region close to the town of Jalalabad
on the country's north-east border with Pakistan.

PM Tony Blair's official spokesman last night confirmed: "Bin Laden is in
Afghanistan. We know he is there, put it that way."

Meanwhile the US government has put an incredible £18 million reward on
the head of Bin Laden and his gang ‹ dead or alive.

Informants are even offered a place in the witness protection programme
usually reserved for those who squeal on the Mafia and Cosa Nostra.
