The Kuwaiti daily Al-Siyassa reported on June 7, 2010, that 

Osama bin Laden, Ayman Al-Zawahiri, and five other 

high-ranking Al-Qaeda figures have been hiding for five 

years in the mountains of Sabzevar, a city in Khorasan 

province in northeastern Iran (220 km west of Mashhad).

According to Al-Siyassa, the information, which came from 

a source linked directly to Iranian security apparatuses, was 

that bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri had entered Sabzevar at the

 invitation of Iran and through the mediation of Lebanese 

Hizbullah.
