Report: Oldest Bin Laden Son Freed By Iran, Saad Bin Laden, Captured By Iranians in 2001, Reported To Have Journeyed To Pakistan - CBS News

Iran has quietly released Osama bin Laden's elder son and is likely to have "pushed him across Western Afghanistan's bordering Heart region" towards the end of 2008, a senior Arab diplomat said on Saturday, responding to reports of the younger bin Laden having eventually arrived in Pakistan.

"I don't know where he may be presently located - he could be on either side of the Pak-Afghan border after traveling from western Afghanistan," said the diplomat with access to intelligence information, who spoke to CBS News in Islamabad on condition of anonymity.
