"...Homayoun Jarir, son-in-law of Afghan warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, said he could not confirm the report.

Shamim Shahed, the bureau chief for ``The Nation,'' an English-language newspaper in Peshawar, was cited by the director of IRNA's Pashtun radio service as the source of the bin Laden report.

But Shahed denied in an AP interview ever telling the Iranian news service that bin Laden had been captured.

``I never said this, but I have for the last year been saying that he is not far away. He is within their (the Americans) reach, and they can declare him arrested anytime,'' Shahed said. He gave no evidence to back up that claim..."

Pakistani Army spokesman Gen. Shaukat Sultan denies reports of Osama bin Laden`s capture as `wrong` (AP)

[Just mythoughts]

That does have the sound of a JFKerry email.

Well, when Saddam was captured didn't we get the same load of bunk.

They said we had been holding him and "staged" the capture.

I think when/if Osama is captured we'll hear the same things.

THE SOURCE Of THE STORY IS FISHY AND BIAS TOWARDS W !!!!

Rest assured that certain news media plan to apply anti-Bush, pro-Kerry spin if and when the story breaks.

[Reader of news]

Yes, Iranians were who announced the capture of Saddam

[maryz]

they can declare him arrested anytime

So what does "declare him arrested" mean? Is it like whoever said that in Vietnam, we should "declare victory and go home"?

[BCrago66]

At first your remark didn't sound convincing, but then SINCE YOU WROTE IT IN CAPITAL LETTERS I guess I should reconsider...

[Prince Charles]

Yup. See #207.

[Gigantor]

"Was it based on this Iranian report?"

AP's source is independent of ours...
