Hmmm: Bin Laden's son "escapes" from Iran, heads to Pakistan

McConnell would not say whether the younger bin Laden escaped detention or was allowed to leave Iran.

McConnell indicated he wasn’t troubled by the move, suggesting the United States has a better chance of getting rid of Saad if he is in Pakistan.

“It is better in my world if they are in places where we have access,” McConnell said.
