Hayden told the Post that counter-terrorism successes extend even to the lawless region along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, where bin Laden is believed to be living.
"The ability to kill and capture key members of al-Qaida continues, and keeps them off balance -- even in their best safe haven along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border," Hayden said.
Hayden said capturing or killing bin Laden and his top deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, remains a top priority, although he noted the difficulties in finding them in the remote region where the US military is officially forbidden to operate, the Post reported.
