ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) -- Osama bin Laden, the Saudi millionaire accused by the United States of plotting bomb attacks on two U.S. embassies in Africa, has left Afghanistan, Afghan sources said Saturday.
Bin Laden's whereabouts were not known, said the sources who declined to be identified.
Taliban authorities in the militia's southern stronghold of Kandahar refused to either confirm or deny reports that bin Laden had left the country. The Taliban have called bin Laden their honored guest, a friend who helped the Afghan resistance fight invading Soviet soldiers in the 1980s.
The Taliban's ambassador in Islamabad, Saeed-ur-Rehman Haqqani, said he had not been told of bin Laden's departure, "but if it has happened, it will be a good thing."
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has offered asylum to bin Laden, who openly supports Iraq against the Western powers.

Pinging my ping list, spread the word far and wide.

Thanks for the ping prairie. I dumped "the link" on the thread.
Nothing to see here, move along.......
Of course, the media is too busy covering Clinton's spewings to comment.
Great research! Alert the VRWC ping!
Just a typo. Could have been Iran, Eros, Erin, Aran, etc. And as far as Saddam Hussein making the invitation, we all know that they only have about eight names in that part of the world, once spelling idiosyncracies are dismissed. If the first name is not Mohammed, it's probably Saddam. If the last name is not Hussein it's probably Hussein. Throw in a couple Saud-somethings and a few Abu's and El's and you've about got it. That covers the men's names. Women there don't have any. Don't need names. Put a burqah on their head and they are all alike to the saddams, husseins, and the rest of that lot.
I hope that Rush and Sean are adding this "little item" to their things to talk about list for tomorrow.
Excellent! Better send that one to drudge.
Saving the page in case CNN tries to remove the page (wouldn't bet against them).
No connections.....links......contacts......?????
Good find!
Great find, huh? - Freepers Rule!
May God rain down his wrath from heaven against the lying and anti-American news media.
Seriously, we should have someone (I nominate Registered) to come up with a graphic which can be printed, and is suitble for framing, and send to a worthy journalist or news outlet.
I'm surprised they haven't expunged it from their website. This kind of factual reporting must be an embarrassment to any self-serving leftist rag.
Ronnie, keep that statement handy for when the 9-11 Commission issues it's final attack...er, report.
There's no link between Iraq and Al Queda bump

I've been working this CLINTON refusing OSAMA Offers Issue ever since September 12, 2001 when MONSOOR IJAZ told us about them on the FoX News Channel.
No reason to stop now..?
