I am reading on different Iranian hardline sources that Bin Laden captured today some where between Iranian-Pakistan border.

I am not sure if this is true or false but I am reporting what I am reading.

The articles and stories say that the Mullahs want to use him as a bargain material with the US and EU.

source is a hardline Iranian web site run by former IRGC commander, Mohsen Rezai

The source also quoted an unknown US official in Pakistan confirming the story.

I think they're talking about getting high, " the usage blunt, "Saumh the root " , indeed.

So Cheech and Chong are part of AQ?

[PianoMan]

Iranian sources??? Maybe they found Bin Laden on the Jewish White Ship that Iranian press reports say goes around the world harvesting organs.

[Dallas59]

Don't know, found it on the net.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

He's dead, Jim. Deader'n a shitbug.

[moondoggie]

I think he's dead, too, but we need "something" to prove it to the people. Where's the DNA or whatever?

I'm so tired of hearing the Liberals "whine" about him everytime another Bin Laden tape is broadcast.

[Lucky2]

I'll believe it when I see his head on a platter, in the mean time I'll keep hoping. His capture is a gift that keeps on giving...

They use the same alphabet.
Arabic and Farsi are different languages.

lol

And afer how many other "FOX ALERTS" that had higher priority?

[P.O.E.]

Only if you put it on a stick and roast it over a flame.

But that would be a good thing.

[Cultural Jihad]

Hard to say why these local reports pop up every so often. It might be some sort of psywar to force the thugs into movement of some kind in order to apprehend them.

If I had a dollar for every time bin Laden has been captured...

You would be richer if you had a quarter for every time Zarqawi has been captured.

Chemical Ali was killed in a bombing strike on his home.
Then he was killed again in an attempt to kill Saddam at a meeeting in Baghdad. Ali was killed, Saadam escaped.
Right now Ali is getting ready to go on trial with Saddam. - Tom

Upping The Ante In Bin Laden Hunt

Reward Could Be Boosted To $50 Million

WASHINGTON (CBS) Thousands of U.S., Afghan and Pakistani troops and who knows how many spooks and special forces teams have searched for him for more than three years now, with no success.

Now, hoping that plain old greed and publicity will prompt a slew of new leads, U.S. officials are blanketing Pakistani television with more "Most Wanted" ads for Osama bin Laden and his terrorists, CBS News Correspondent Jim Stewart reports.

"You may get a reward of up to $25 million (and) be resettled to any new place with your family," the ads offer.

So far, about a dozen tips a day are coming in, although many Pakistanis remain dubious.

"Maybe in one percent out of 100 it'll make an impact," said one young man in a café. "But in my opinion, I don't think so."

The ads are a prelude to what is expected to be a dramatic increase in the reward money for bin Laden, from its current $25 million to $50 million sometime later this month. Counter-terrorism experts believe it also reflects a subtle shift in U.S. thinking about where bin Laden may be hiding.

Instead of staying in the barren mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan, where many believed he fled after 9/11, some officials now conclude he may be within range of TV viewers in Pakistan's larger cities.

They cite, for example, the cleaned-up, almost pressed look of bin Laden's clothing in his most recent videotape, and the fact that it was delivered to television networks very quickly after its taping. Plus, several other al Qaeda leaders, including bin Laden's chief lieutenants Khalid Sheik Muhammed and Ramzi Binalsheib, were captured in large Pakistan cities.

"We do know that we've been quite successful in apprehending al Qaeda figures in Pakistan, and perhaps there will be information about these people," says the State Department's Frances X. Taylor.

It might also help if Pakistani viewers understood the details of the reward: that's $50 million to the penny being offered. Overseas informants, officials point out, don't pay any income tax.

I do not have FNC

[mabelkitty]

If that is true, the Mullahs are more stupid than originally thought.
One lame ass sick terrorist vs. an entire country with nuclear ambitions? Please.

Castro's dying?

I wouldn't care, but it's gonna be hard on Dan Rather.

I'm in this late - but would you define "hardline"?
I don't know if that is pro government or anti....
