U.S. armed forces besides the Afghanistan-Pakistan boundary were so near to Osama bin Laden’s den in late 2004 that his henchmen nearly killed the al Qaeda leader to keep him from being confined, according to a report.

The Taliban’s al Qaeda contact told the magazine that bin Laden and his henchmen saw U.S. forces approaching from their hideout and were arranged to take severe actions.
