There's this guy in Afghanistan, named Sher Akbar, and until you get real close to him, he looks just like Osama bin Laden. Same height, same build, same beard, same large nose. Sher Akbar is an Afghan, who lives near the Pakistani border. He crosses the border frequently, on business. So far, Sher Akbar has been arrested twice, on suspicion of being Osama bin Laden. Sher Akbar's movements have been reported to the authorities several times, by people hoping to collect the $25 million reward.
Sher Akbar is not amused, especially as people have told him about Predator UAVs launching Hellfire missiles at vehicles believed to contain al Qaeda leaders. On a more practical level, Sher Akbars presence will continue to make life harder for intelligence agencies. That's because Osama bin Laden now has the option of moving about while pretending he is Sher Akbar.
Yep !!

It might be worthwhile to emigrate this guy to US,
just to cut down on false alerts.
:)
Another possibility: maybe OBL is dead and this is the guy who's been making the occasional video tape since '01?
Better to arrest Sher Akbar a thousand times than to allow Osama bin Laden to roam free.
So His Fake Twin Towers Over Him.
Wishful thinking - But nope - Nor does he look that much like him to pass muster from trained eyes.....
I thought they identified OBL by using voice-print technology.
Bummer for this guy, that is like the deer being born with bullseye on it’s chest.
They all look alike! :-)
That is a very old photo of Bin Laden.
I wouldn’t object to offering this poor bastard plastic surgery on our dime.
Or maybe blond. That would be cheaper but then he would be mistaken for Britany Spears.
Hey, I feel for the guy. Mel Gibson and I have had the same problem for years.
Though I concede the possibility of getting struck by a hellfire missile is a little worse than the risk of being arrested by an irate Jewish cop.
All he needs to do is shave and put on a Yankees cap. ;)
Doesn’t inbreeding promote similar looks?
Guess he needs a camel with rockets.....
