No further word, yet. Looks like the source is Tehran...

An article of agency IRNA of Iran:

Iran`s state radio says Osama bin Laden captured

Tehran, Feb 28, IRNA -- Iran`s state radio has quoted an informed
source as saying that Osama bin Laden had been captured in a tribal
region in Pakistan.
The radio`s external service, broadcast in Pushtun, said US
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld`s trip to Pakistan on Thursday
had been made in connection with the capture.
The radio said, "The capture of the al-Qaeda leader has been made
sometime before, but (US President George W.) Bush is intending to
announce it when the American presidential election is held."
Osama`s head on a platter is believed to be a big boost to Bush`s
presidential chances, which are increasingly being eclipsed by
Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry.
The Saudi-born dissident is accused of masterminding the September
11, 2001 attacks on American landmarks in New York and Washington.
Visiting Kabul on Thursday, Rumsfeld said he believes Osama will
be caught, but has no idea when.
