Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari has said the whereabouts of bin Laden remained a mystery and there was a suspicion that he could be dead.

He said U.S. officials had told him that they had no trace of the al Qaeda chief and the same view was shared by his own intelligence agencies.

"There is no news," the president said in a wide-ranging interview with international media,. "They obviously feel that he does not exist anymore but that's not confirmed, we can't confirm that," he said, referring to Pakistani intelligence agencies.

Zardari said authorities in the northwest of the country had struck the deal with Islamists in Swat in line with the popular demand for a negotiated and political settlement of the issue.
