‘Osama was tracked as he plotted attacks’

INTELLIGENCE chiefs spent months tracking meetings between Osama Bin Laden and his henchmen, said reports on the WikiLeaks website.

They knew the al-Qaeda chief and his top aides would regularly rendezvous to plot suicide bomb attacks inside Afghanistan.

And, according to the leaked intelligence documents, they even knew that each bomber was then handed £32,000 to plan the attacks.

Hunt ... elite troops may have been close to terror bossA number of those known to be at the "cell meetings" were later captured or killed in raids by the SAS and other special forces troops. That suggests the SAS may have been homing in on Bin Laden himself - and could have even got to within a few yards of him at one of the meetings.

Among cell members who were targeted are ex-warlord Mullah Dadullah, a close associate of Bin Laden.
