Bin Laden says he'll evade capture

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- Osama bin Laden said he had nothing to do with the anthrax attacks in the United States, and declared he would never allow himself to be captured, in the second part of a newspaper interview published Sunday. \n"America can't get me alive," bin Laden was quoted as saying. "I can be eliminated, but not my mission." \nBin Laden granted the interview Wednesday to Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir, who said he was blindfolded and bundled into a jeep in the Afghan capital, Kabul. He said he was driven five hours to a cold, mud hut where he spoke with bin Laden for two hours. \nIt was impossible to independently verify Mir's account of the interview. \nMir's newspaper, Ausaf, published part of the interview Saturday and included additional excerpts Sunday. Mir, who has written a biography of bin Laden that will be published soon, said the terror suspect declined to answer many of his questions. \nWhen Mir asked if bin Laden was responsible for the anthrax attacks, he laughed and said: "We don't know anything about anthrax." \nBin Laden did claim in the portion of the interview published Saturday that his al-Qaeda organization had nuclear and chemical weapons and would use them if the United States employed such weapons on him. \nMir wrote that when he asked bin Laden where he allegedly got the mass destruction weapons, bin Laden replied: "Go to the next question." \nThe United States says it has no evidence that bin Laden possesses nuclear weapons. Intelligence experts believe al-Qaeda has experimented with crude chemical weapons at a training camp in Afghanistan. \nFBI officials say there is no direct link between anthrax attacks in the United States and any cell or network, including al-Qaeda. \nMir said bin Laden vowed that if his Taliban allies lose Kabul and other cities, "we will move to the mountains. We will continue our guerrilla warfare against the Americans"
