Two of terror leader Osama bin Laden’s sons were today reported to have been wounded and captured in an Afghan gun battle involving US troops.

But in Washington a White House official cast doubt on the report, saying: “We, in fact, think it’s wrong."

However, Pakistan’s provincial home minister Sanaullah Zehri said the two - Saad and Hamza bin Laden – were arrested yesterday in south-western Afghanistan in a joint operation involving Pakistani and US forces,

“They were arrested from Rabat area in Afghanistan,” Zehri told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
