I keep hearing that OSB is in Afghanistan because he is exiled from Saudi Arabia, but have not been able to Google up the reason. Howcum?

This was discussed a few days ago, so I’ll close this thread. Any remaining unanswered questions are directed to the earlier thread, [Osama Bin Laden exile question](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=87136)
