A British daily reported on Saturday that US and British special forces are hunting for Osama bin Laden in Indian-controlled Kashmir.
US Delta Force soldiers and British Special Air Service troops have formed a special unit to hunt down bin Laden, The Daily Telegraph said.
Indian intelligence told the US Central Intelligence Agency last month that they believed bin Laden was hiding in Kashmir's Himalayan mountains, and was being protected by the Islamic guerrilla group Harkat-ul-Mujahideen.
A spy satellite above the Indian Ocean operated by US and British intelligence is being used to monitor possible communications between bin Laden and members of his Al Qaeda network.
