In hot pursuit: Bush

WASHINGTON, SEPT. 28. The U.S. President, Mr. George W. Bush, today said the United States was ``in hot pursuit'' of the authors of the September 11 terror strikes on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

``Make no mistake about it: we're in hot pursuit,'' he said amid reports that U.S. Special Forces had been searching for Osama bin Laden, whom Mr. Bush has blamed for the attacks, in Afghanistan.

``We are going to be patient and diligent and determined to bring people to justice and to root out terrorist activity around the world,'' he said as he met with Jordan's King, Abdullah II.
