ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - Osama bin Laden is on the run with a small band of fighters, but his al-Qaida network has been paralyzed by Pakistani government forces, the country's foreign minister was quoted as saying Friday.
Foreign Minister Khursheed Kasuri declined to say whether Pakistan had specific information on the whereabouts of the world's most wanted fugitive, accused by the U.S. of orchestrating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and the Pentagon.
``Osama bin Laden is alive and moving around from place to place, but not with a large group of people,'' Kasuri was quoted as saying in the English-language newspaper The News.
Kasuri said Pakistan's army had ``paralyzed al-Qaida's communication network'' and vastly reduced its capability to strike, the newspaper reported.
