Bin Laden Look-Alikes Reportedly Placed in Afghanistan

DUBAI (Reuters) - The brother of Afghanistan (news - web sites)'s late opposition commander said in remarks published on Sunday that Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) has doubles traveling around Afghanistan to confuse people over his whereabouts.

``The latest report we had a few days ago locates him in Jalalabad. But we know that he has several doubles -- individuals who look like him and travel in Toyota convoys like him -- to foment confusion,'' Ahmad Wali Masood told Saudi Arabia's English-language Arab News daily.

``A few months ago we had reports of four Osama look-alikes in different locations at the same time,'' said Masood, the brother of the legendary Ahmad Shah Masood who was assassinated last month.

The United States has named Saudi-born bin Laden as prime suspect in the September 11 attacks and has vowed to flush him and his followers out of Afghanistan where he is being sheltered by the Taliban movement.
