A Pakistani paper is claiming Osama bin Laden has gone into hiding in the province of Uruzgan in south-western Afghanistan.
The Dawn claims Afghan sources say bin Laden has moved his three wives and children from his house in Kandahar to the native province of Taliban supreme leader Mullah Muhammad Omar.
It says bin Laden, who lived near the Afghan Air Force Colony, near Kandahar Airport, vacated his house fearing retaliatory attacks.
He is reported to have been moving between Uruzgan and Helmand provinces.

Sources are also reported as saying that, for external security, bin Laden is protected by 50 to 60 Afghans.
In addition, the paper says 150 arabs have taken oath of allegiance to bin Laden, pledging to protect him with their lives.
