Teheran radio says bin Laden arrested on Afghanistan’s border.



28.02.2004, 14.29



TEHERAN, February 28 (Itar-Tass) - Official Radio Teheran said Saturday the notorious Osama bin Laden, the leader of the Al Qaeda terrorist network had been arrested on the Afghan-Pakistani border.

The radio said the information had been leaked by well-connected sources.

The arrest allegedly took place in the so-called zone of free tribes some time ago and the Thursday trips to Afghanistan and Iran by the U.S. Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld might have been linked to bin Laden’s seizure, said Radio Teheran’s foreign service broadcasting in the Pushto language.

In the meantime, official quarters have neither denied nor confirmed the reported arrest so far.

I found more than one in other threads.

But the most interesting pattern I found is your are obsessed with what should or should not be in "Breaking News".

And I mean horribly obsessed.

Just to keep things interesting, I just saw a report on FNC about Salon.com. It seems they owe the White House a good chunk of change for some previous travel. They can't pay it. They sent out a sob story about how they can only pay part of it due to their losses. they said that they're 85 million in debt. I can't find this story anywhere on the web searches. If anyone does, could they please post it.

U.S. Denies Iran Report of Bin Laden's Capture

Sat Feb 28, 2004 06:44 AM ET


TEHRAN (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Defense denied reports by Iran's official IRNA news agency Saturday that al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has been captured.
IRNA quoted a story on Iran's state radio Pashtun service which reported "a very reliable source" as saying bin Laden had been captured in a tribal area of Pakistan.

A senior U.S. defense official denied the report, telling Reuters it was "another piece of stray voltage that's passing around out there."

Washington says Bin Laden masterminded the September 11, 2001 suicide hijack attacks in the United States, which killed nearly 3,000 people.

The Iranian correspondent responsible for the report told Reuters the radio had also reported bin Laden's capture a year ago. But said a new source had told him Friday the al Qaeda leader had been seized "a long time ago."

"It could be one month ago, it could be one year, but he has been arrested," he said.

While declining to reveal his source or how his source knew of the capture, he said: "My source said it and he knows it."

He said the reason U.S. officials had denied the report was so that they could time the release of the news of bin Laden's capture to help boost President Bush's chances of re-election at presidential polls in November.

The U.S. military said this month that U.S.-led troops in Afghanistan were moving toward coordinated operations along the border -- "a hammer and anvil approach" -- to prevent fleeing al Qaeda fighters from escaping simply by crossing from one country into the other.

Pakistan, a key ally in the U.S.-led war on terror, has stepped-up efforts in recent weeks against al Qaeda and Taliban fighters as the 10,600-strong U.S. force in Afghanistan gears up for a spring offensive against Islamic militants.

It would be really strange if he is presently surrounded, and was to die on March 2 - because that is Ashura day, when the martyr Hussayn was killed along with all his followers, after being pinned down for several days. A very famous story in the Shi'ah world.

But Bin Laden is a Sunni not a Shia. I wonder if the Iranians have come up with this story because they are in the Ashura season and it is playing on their minds.
