Bin Laden: 'America can't get me alive'
He also said al-Qaeda has nuclear, chemical weapons
By Greg Myre
Associated Press
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.
"America can't get me alive," bin Laden was quoted as saying. "I can be eliminated, but not my mission."
Bin 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.
Mir's account of the interview could not be verified.
Mir's newspaper, Ausaf, published part of the interview Saturday and included additional excerpts Sunday.
Bin Laden did claim in the portion of the interview published Saturday that his al-Qaeda organization had nuclear and chemical weapons.
