This is raw information. It may be disinformation, it may be partly true, or it may be completely true. There is no way we can know without further information.

I doubt possibility #1. I would say it is more likely for Iran to shelter Bin Laden or pretend to, in order to anger America. Iran is facing very serious internal dissent at this time, and being attacked by the US would be a quick cure to that problem (as long as we didn’t overthrow the government).

Number 2 is certainly possible. Pakistan is in a very dangerous position, and Musharraf in particular has to walk a narrow line. On the one hand, he wants US help, but the Muslim radicals in his country might overthrow him if he goes too far.

As to the anti-Pakistan rant at the end… it is irrelevant to this issue, regardless of its validity. Anyone who pays attention knows that India has a functioning democracy and, although there are occasional major problems between religious groups, in general it is far more free and less radical than Pakistan. What most people don’t know is that the Muslim population of India is larger than that of Pakistan! But, as I said, that is off the subject.

1. It could be Pro-US person in Iran, who want to take this opportunity to BRING DEMOCRACY TO IRAN, and use US to do it, by turning on heat on Iran.

2. It could be ISI feeding information to get the heat away from Pakistan on to Iran, as Pak is continuously being squeezed to work harder on Al Qaeda as well as to stop the cross border terrorism and aiding terrorists in so called Kashmir cause.

[One wonders why in 55 years there has been no elections in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, so called Free Kashmir? and how come a part of that Kashmir has been given as a gift to China? May be Musharraf can answer that. And may be also tell us what happened to 31% of Sikhs and Hindus of Pakistan, in 1941, how come they have become only 3%; while both muslim and christian population in India has gone up in numbers and percentages in last 60 years?
