ISLAMABAD, Nov 14: Pakistan has ordered a special watch on its border with Afghanistan in case Osama bin Laden tries to slip across, officials said on Wednesday.

With pressure mounting on Kandahar, next to the Pakistan border, a top Pakistan government official said troops were on a special “Osama” alert.

“The government is aware of all possibilities and is taking all possibilities into account,” the official, who requested anonymity, told AFP.
