Experts say capturing or killing Osama bin Laden will make little difference to the global war on terror because the Al Qaeda leader has been marginalised.
But lately U-S counter-terrorism officials admit he and his deputy still provide strategic guidance to their followers, even though they're on the run.
Many wonder how the world's most wanted man has evaded capture.

Two men from the African nation of Mauritania were apprehended at a Kroger store last night with a large cache of baby formula.

Federal agents arrived within minutes. They arrested S. O. Mohamed-Mahmoud, an undocumented alien from Mauritania. The other Kroger shopper had proper papers and was allowed to leave.

The cab looks typical.. but the passengers are the furry sort.
Joe May picks up rabbits, dogs... and even the feathered pet from time to time. It started with a parrot pick up.

Mays takes pets to the vet, the groomer or to day care. It' snot just for the wealthy. They transport many pets who live with invalids
The flat rate in San Francisco is 30 dollars one way, 50 roundtrip.
The husband and wife team started pet taxi as a lark you could say... as a retirement business, but it's definitely taken off.
