Terror suspect Osama bin Laden has been placed under house arrest by 
Afghanistan's Taliban regime, it was claimed today.
A spokesman for the Taliban embassy in Pakistan confirmed earlier reports 
today in Pakistani newspapers that Bin Laden is under house arrest, 
according to United Press International.

However, previous reports today carried quotes from "Taliban sources" 
claiming America's most wanted fugitive, who many believe masterminded the 
US terror attacks, was not under arrest.

The reports in the Pakistani newspapers said he was under house arrest in 
Kandahar in the south west of Afghanistan. A Taliban spokesman from the 
Afghan embassy in Pakistan said: "We have placed him under control after the 
attacks," according to the United Press International news agency.
