Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhu Bangzao refuted Saturday as "totally ungrounded" the report by a British newspaper saying that Osama bin Laden is in China.
The British newspaper Guardian reported that Osama bin Laden had fled Afghanistan and entered China. It said that Osama bin Laden was hiding out somewhere in China.
Zhu said that the report by the Guardian is "totally ungrounded. "
"I wonder what motive the newspaper's reporter harbors in disseminating such a rumor at this moment," Zhu said.
