Another Report of an October Surprise

There is a report published in El Mundo that OBL has been hiding in an area of China bordering Pakistan. The report goes on to say that OBL negotiated a deal with China that in return for his remaining in China he would end attacks by Muslims in the area.

Supposedly Bush is negotiating with China to hand over OBL for a collection of diplomatic/economic bounty.

It is believed that the possibility for such a deal emerged early this year, after Donald Rumsfeld had met with a delegation of the Chinese government during a visit to the far East. Later, George Tenet, then director of the CIA, requested a viability study for an operation to capture Bin Laden. Tenet was informed that the only possibility would be if they could count on the cooperation of the Chinese.

"To what extent that collaboration will occur in the few weeks remaining until the elections, will depend to a good extent on the confidence that Bush can inspire in the Chinese that he will be able to live up to his promises," confirmed the functionary of the Pentagon.
