[Cascadians]

Can any of you translate the words?

Do you think that is the body of Osama Bin Laden? Graphic.

Can you figure out how long the video has been up at that site?

Any insights, FReepers? Has the FBI etc been notified? Do you think it is a hoax?

Please let the page load and view the pictures and video (and have sound on):

and give your opinion.

Please give your opinion.

OBL is alive and hiding in one of Saddam's palaces. We should bomb them all immediately.

[Cascadians]

Did you look at the video?

Whose body was that?

Nope, close, but not Hitlery corpse.

The pictures at above link are clear. Could the USA alpha-intel have missed this?

[Just another Joe]

My own opinion - That ain't Osama. It bears a superficial resemblence but that's all.

Hot link to video (takes a few seconds to load):

I agree, he looks way to beefy to be OBL.

OBL is very thin.

[Cascadians]

Thanks, Joe. Who do you think it was? Do you think it was a jihader bombed in Afghanistan?

UBL's nostrils flare. This guy's nose is straight.

[realpatriot]

The images are clear enough that the CIA and other investigators will definately be able to determine if it is him or not.

Thanks Caskies,

FWIW I found another page of this stuff when I searched in google for "alkholoud" If anyone knows what that word means.. it would be helpfull.

I came across this site

http://www.geocities.com/maryammohd/saktjf_files/

You want some interesting stuff.. check out some of the files on that site, however it gets overloaded quick cus its hosted on Yahoo, so it might be gone quick but back tomorrow.

This stuff was just spooky.. check out some of the images I got off that other site on the timebomb thread.

...looks way to beefy to be OBL...

Not to be overly gross, but doesn't a dead body "bloat" a bit, esp. if it's been dead a couple of days ? The still face pictures look pretty close to OBL, mustache seems a bit too dark, and the nose is a little larger (wider ??) in some side shots, esp. compared to the "sick/injured" video (where he didn't move his arm at all)

[ChadGore]

Reminds me of one of those "Alien Autopsy" videos. lol

They took a handful of pictures and used digital panning and sweeps to give the flash animation a little more length. Since this is built from a handfull of still images, with no way to verify the date or authenticity, I would label it an discusting, inhumane piece of art, but little more.

Plus, the bandages on both arms just seem fake.

[Hugin]

I clicked on it and got a plain black screen for about 3 minutes before I gave up. In any case my response was humor. IMHO OBL has been dead since last December.

[AntiGuv]

No, I don't think it looks anything like him. A random body at best, and a stupid hoax at worse.

[Cascadians]

There was a rumor that UBL had a kidney failure condition.

We have a patient dying of kidney failure right now and he has swelled noticeably.

The pictures are strange and creepy enough to warrant investigative benefit of doubt.

Surely a FReeper can look carefully at this and compare pictures / teeth etc?

I would have to concur that it doesn't appear to be Osama for a number of reasons.

1. The jihadi chants in the background make no mention of "Osama bin Laden," "Abu Abdullah," or "al-Emir," three titles associated with bin Laden. Indeed, there isn't any mention of "kufr" (infidels) and the talk of jihad comes at the very end of the chant. Nor is there any mention of the word "shaheed" (martyr), which a tribute to bin Laden would certainly include.

2. I'm not entirely certain, but I don't believe that bin Laden's bald, as this individual certainly is. Anybody see any pictures of bin Laden without his turban on?

3. This looks a lot different from the bin Laden we saw in the last video. If this is supposedly from Tora Bora in December 2001, he should look considerable worse, not better.

4. If bin Laden is dead, it is highly likely that he was killed during the American bombing. This guy seems to have died from a gunshot wound.

5. The nose looks considerably smaller than bin Laden's.

Additionally, the background of the footage doesn't look like Afghanistan in the winter. The website looks like it's a legitimate member of the al-Qaeda fan club, but I'd wait for a translation before jumping to conclusions. According to one of the threads linked, the site is based out of the Philippines. Perhaps its owners have connections to the Filippino al-Qaeda (Abu Sayyaf or the Moro Islamic Liberation Front)?
