Quoting sources close to Mullah Omar, Al Rai Al Aam, the Kuwaiti newspaper said, "the envoy moved into the country with the help of his friends who had made all the arrangements for his visit." The names of the other two countries were not revealed.
The source also said that Osama Bin Laden is in a safe place in Afghanistan along with three members of his group and protected by the Pashtoon tribesmen and that both Al Qaida and the Taliban "are currently regrouping to carry out attacks on the US installations in Afghanistan".
