WHERE IS HE NOW? – AT 9:14 A.M. ET:  We cannot confirm this story, but there have been other stories to this effect, and I think it's wise to present it as part of the conversation.  The translation comes from MEMRI: 

The Kuwaiti daily Al-Siyassa reported on June 7, 2010, that Osama bin Laden, Ayman Al-Zawahiri, and five other high-ranking Al-Qaeda figures have been hiding for five years in the mountains of Sabzevar, a city in Khorasan province in northeastern Iran (220 km west of Mashhad).

According to Al-Siyassa, the information, which came from a source linked directly to Iranian security apparatuses, was that bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri had entered Sabzevar at the invitation of Iran and through the mediation of Lebanese Hizbullah.

COMMENT:  If true, and we stress that we can't back it up, that might explain the baffling disappearance of bin Laden from Afghanistan, and our difficulty in finding him.

This is absolutely intriguing, and I hope journalists pursue it.  If Iran is protecting bin Laden, it will challenge the conventional wisdom about relations between terrorists and their supporters.
