CIA Officials: Bin Laden Will Be Caught
July 23, 2004, 3:10 AM EDT


WASHINGTON -- Al-Qaida's leaders have faced increasingly aggressive Pakistani military operations in June and July, a senior CIA official said as the agency came under attack for failing to combat the threat from Osama bin Laden before Sept. 11.
