Tora Bora Tourist Resort

**MSFixR** · 10-30-2006, 12:47 PM

Osama Bin Laden's secret caves hideout is being converted - into a £5.3million tourist resort.

Hotels and restaurants are being constructed on mountains overlooking the al-Qaeda chief's Tora Bora refuge in Afghanistan, reports the Sun.

Former warlord Gul Agha Sherazi, now a local governor, said: "Tora Bora is world famous - but we want it to be known for tourism, not terrorism.

"It was known as a picnic spot long before anyone had heard of Osama Bin Laden."

Bin Laden, who hid there in 2001 after the Taliban government was ousted, is believed to have fled after a US bombing blitz.

Two journalists were killed there this month but Mr Sherazi insisted: "Tora Bora is 100 per cent safe."

Sounds like a great place for the next Survivor show.
