March 17, 2006Weldon: Bin Laden Dead
Pennsylvania Congressman Curt Weldon is claiming that Osama bin Laden died in Iran.
Rep. Curt Weldon, who broke the Able Danger story last year revealing that military intelligence had identified lead hijacker Mohamed Atta as a terrorist threat before the 9/11 attacks, now says that Osama bin Laden has died.
Weldon made the stunning claim during an interview Wednesday with the Philadelphia Inquirer, which reported: "Weldon is making explosive new allegations. He says a high-level source has told him that terrorist leader Osama bin Laden has died in Iran, where he has been in hiding."
Weldon cited as his source an Iranian exile code-named Ali, telling the paper:
"Ali's told me that Osama bin Laden is dead. He died in Iran."
