Osama Bin Laden search finds new source

A jihadist prisoner being held in Islamabad has claimed to have information about the whereabouts of the world's most wanted man.

The detainee, who can't be named, has told the BBC that he met someone who claimed to have met Bin Laden in Afghanistan in January 2009.

The prime minister of Pakistan has denied that the al-Qaeda leader is hiding in his country, although the UK and USA are both urging the Pakistani government to do more to find him.
