Al-Azdi spent six years in the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay before being released in 2007. A Saudi national, he escaped Saudi Arabia to Yemen in 2008.

I suppose it mattered to Mr. Al-Azdi, and his mother. And his wives.

Osama Bin Laden died of injuries at Tora Bora Lora Snora or he didn't.

Osama Bin Laden died at a raid in Pocky-stand, or he didn't.

No pictures of any of these deaths.

Print the legend.

Killed in a December drone strike? Why is CNN printing this now?

Could it be that in the face of Libya and Algeria they need a little uptick on General Obama and his incredible military prowess? l

I thought that bin Laden was a “top al-Qauda” leader, and I thought that it was lonely at the top?!

“We only killed him? We shoud have lowered the hammer and water-boarded the beyotch.”

Didn’t you know, the obama adm never captures if they can help it. They have a sticky “moral” and logistical problem what to do with them. They kill them.

Vast intelligence info lost, to be sure, but it solves their “moral” and logistical problem.

The CNN story is confusing.

It's like he died only now after the drone strike in Dec.?

Isn’t this the third or fourth time this guy has been killed? Every time bad news rears it’s head in the 0bama regime, like Hildbeast’s testimony today, they trot out this guy and have him killed. Of course the morons in the media never seem to notice it’s the same guy, but with so many muzzies that hate us, maybe they should find someone else to kill.
