Debra Oliver said: "Funny that – he was buried at sea too"
A shocked woman made a bombshell discovery when she found a seashell that looks just like terrorist leader Osama bin Laden.
Debra Oliver, 60, found the distinctive-looking shell bearing a striking resemblance to the al-Qaida boss on Winchelsea Beach, East Sussex.
She was "drawn to the curious-looking" find as she went for a walk while celebrating her 42nd wedding anniversary with hubby Martin, 62.
Legal secretary Debra realised it bore an uncanny resemblance to the September 11 mastermind.
She remarked: "Funny that – he was buried at sea too".

============================================================
Debra, of Brentsford, west London, "fell apart laughing" and kept it "as a little memento".
She said: "It's not that often you find a seashell that looks like anyone at all, so finding Osama bin Laden was amazing.
"We'd all gone for a walk on the beach, which is covered in millions and millions of shells and pebbles.
"I was drawn to this curious-looking shell and went to pick it up. When I looked at it properly up close, I thought it looked like Jesus.
"I then saw a turban on the top, and realised who was staring up at me in the palm of my hand – Osama bin Laden."
Bin Laden hit the top spot, others thought the seashell resembled ex-Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini.
Al-Qaida first emerged in the late 1980s as Arab volunteers joined US-backed mujahideen in fighting the Soviet Union.
Bin Laden left Afghanistan in 1986, but then returned in 1996 to run military training camps for thousands seeking to wage jihad.
He declared a holy war on the West and has most notably been behind the September 11 attack in New York which killed 2,977 people in 2001.

US special forces killed bin Laden in 2011, in a daring night raid on his compound in Pakistan, before dumping his body at sea off the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson.
This year, US troops also killed bin Laden's son – and suspected eventual heir – Hamza.
Current leader Ayman al-Zawahiri is subject to a $25million bounty for his successful capture. Al-Qaida remains a powerful force in the terror world, and their leader made a speech on September 11 calling for more attacks on the West.
Or Jesus, or Elvis.....................
I read it as Obama instead of Osama.
And my first thought was, “Well I really don’t see the likeness, but it is half white and half black.
I had one in my toilet bowl the other morning but I was still half asleep and flushed it before I could photograph it.
real fish food made with osama bin laden. warning, may contain traces of lead.
LOL!......................
Slow news day? :)
Just lightening up peoples day...................
So, he’s come back as a clam.
Meanwhile in other news clams have started shouting “ durka durka jiihad”
I guess we know what that clamp has been eating. And here I thought the lobsters would feast on that turd.
I was just joking :)
It was pretty funny.
But are these people insane?!!
I would have noticed nothing if it wasn’t mentioned.
Now my pear shaped like George Washington’s head...THAT’S something to see!!
So did the Swimmer, back in the day.
That and a buck fifty will buy them a cup of coffee.
Whatever were feeding on him probably were not Kosher.
Bottom-Feeders generally aren’t.
You know...You should have put this in breaking news!
This is impotent!
