CAIRO, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is in poor health and is seeking medical attention, the London-based Arabic newspaper al-Hayat said on Wednesday, quoting a U.S. officer in Afghanistan."Osama bin Laden is trying to obtain medical attention," Colonel Don McGraw, director of operations at the Combined Forces Command in Kabul, told a group of British reporters, including one from al-Hayat, it said.
"He (McGraw) refused to say what the Qaeda leader is suffering from or whether it is the same kidney disease which Pakistani officials said in the past he was suffering from," the newspaper added. Al-Hayat said it was not clear how the U.S. military had obtained its information or where it thought bin Laden might be.
The Saudi-born militant is believed to have taken refuge somewhere on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan after escaping from U.S. troops and their Afghan allies who toppled the Taliban government that had hosted him in 2001.
The United States holds al Qaeda responsible for many attacks, including the suicide hijack assaults on New York and Washington on Sept. 11, 2001.
I forget - does "militant" outrank "insurgent"?
Or is it the other way around?
Deal OBL,
DIE and BURN IN HELL.
We don't want him ill. We want him spread over a pig farm.
I hope the SOB has some disease from mating with a goat. A male goat. Now that's REALLY sick!!
Seems like we've heard this before, no? Let's have some real proof.
Not a lot of top medical facilities there.
Whatever he is suffering from can't be much worse than the lead poisoning he will catch if he travels to a hospital.
Try spoiled brat trust fund wittle dickless good-for-nothing.
"Deal OBL,
DIE and BURN IN HELL."
Only after we let the PIGS root around the body and eat what they want.
Nah, never mind. Swine wouldn't touch that swine!
What does John Kerry have to do with this?
I'd prefer buried UNDER a pig farm.
It would be nice if President Bush's speech on Thursday included the news that the SOB was being embalmed in bacon grease.
lol
Sorry for your illness please let me know where to send flowers.
Signed,
G Bush
PS, we have a very good hospital in a tropical location you might want to try.
Kidney trouble huh!... Osama might have limited time to pee in the caves because he had to run most of the time while being chased by the SF heroes... he has millions of dollars of funding why the heck cant he buy a cathetir?...
Lockheed Martin has just discovered the cure for your disease and it will be delivered soon, ah, from 20,000 ft.
He can. He just can't find anybody to stick it up his cathet for him.
"Osama bin Laden is trying to obtain medical attention," Colonel Don McGraw"
Don't waste time telling us the evil murderer is sick, just go kill the bastard.
Was Osama bin Laden exchanging rides with Arafat?
Perhaps... because it's an all-men cave dwellings where OBL is living, if he'l asked his men to do it the Arab media will think he is a gay... admit it Osama don't be shy!
