WASHINGTON – The former head of the CIA unit hunting Osama bin Laden unit said Wednesday that US policy in the Middle East has given a boost to Al-Qaeda and its leader.

“Today, bin Laden, Al-Qaeda and their allies have only one indispensable ally: the US foreign policy towards the Islamic world,” said Michael Scheuer, who led the bin Laden unit from 1996-1999.

“Time is not on America’s side. We’re clearly losing,” Scheuer told a government security conference in Washington.
