ISLAMABAD, Nov 15, 2001 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- Pakistan has ordered a special watch on its border with Afghanistan in case terrorist suspect Osama bin Laden tries to slip across, reports said.

With pressure mounting on the Taliban headquarters in the southern Afghan province of Kandahar, next to the Pakistan border, Pakistani troops were on a special "Osama" alert, a government official who requested anonymity was quoted as saying on Thursday.

"Civil armed forces on the western borders in North West Frontier Province and Baluchistan borders have been put on red alert against any threat" of bin Laden getting into Pakistan.

Taliban spokesmen have regularly insisted that Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, and his ally bin Laden, the Saudi dissident accused of masterminding the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington, are alive and still in Afghanistan.

Bin Laden was last seen on November 8. That was when Pakistani newspaper journalist Hamid Mir said he interviewed the 44-year-old multi-millionaire creator of the al-Qaeda network.

Bin Laden has been the United States' most wanted man since August 1998 when bombs at the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania killed more than 200 people.

Bin Laden has been the United States' most wanted man since August 1998 when bombs at the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania killed more than 200 people

Yes but only now when we have a real President has an effort been made to track down and kill the vile swine hugger.

[Sabertooth]

growl!

[mercy]

Ah HAH! Suddenly this whole bourkha thing becomes clear to me.

[atafak]

At 6'4" he'd be instantly spotted in a bhurka.

[onyx]

6'5" and a mere 160 lbs. toothprick.

Rohrbacher said tonight on Fox that bin Laden's just coward enough to try to pass himself off as a woman. Then we heard that he's asked for "special permission" to commit suicide? I hope not. He doesn't deserve suicide. We need his head on a stake. A stake! Yes, he deserves to be burned at the stake. Those people understand just that type of punishment and it needs to be highly visible so it'll sink in.

[No Truce With Kings]

The reward for capturing him would leave a Paki border guard flush enough to buy himself 72 virgins a day until he went to see Allah. Of course, at 72 virgins a day it would not take long. . . but what a way to go.

Bet you see the Pakis that find bin Laden play an elaborate game of "keep-away" from the other Pakis, until they find an American to sign for the body. Otherwise they will have to share with the others.

Just like Hitler and his gang of murderers, OBL want to take the suicide route.

I, too, want to see his head paraded around on a stick in full view of the world press.

In the meantime, permit him NO media coverage. Isolate him from the civilized world. Media attention is his oxygen, so suffocate him.

[Ronin]

Anyone want to bet that when they catch him -- and I believe they WILL catch him soon, that he will have shaved his beard?

I have never believed him to be an authentic fundamentalist. I think he used his wealth to play the fundamentalist game, but it was never any intention of his to put his own neck anywhere near the chopping block.

Sounds like another psycho we all know.

I wonder, have we reminded the Pakistani border patrol that there's a "bonus" offered by the US for Osamma yo Mamma's capture? I'm sure that they're quite diligent, but there's nothing like a little "motivation" to do one's job.

[rebdov]

Is it true that OBL is 6' 5" tall? Shouldn't be hard to spot the only Afghani hoopster.

In any case, I think he already left for parts unknown. These guys know that they can get some very, very large bills for turning him in. At this point they have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

[nutmeg]

ROTFLMAO!!!

[kattracks]

I think he already left for parts unknown

I hope he's already left some parts unknown, that only a DNA test can identify.

[Skibane]

Somebody needs to back that alert up with some $erious reward bucks.

You can be sure that Osama would be spreading some major border guard bribe money around to make sure they looked the other way!

[Eyes Now Opened]

I like the idea - burned at the stake! How about making it a combo OBL and pig roast? He could bask in the juices of swine as he cries out to his Allah. Of course, the pigs don't deserve that kind of contamination!

[Commonsense]

No kidding. Have a little mercy on the pigs.

"Sounds like another psycho we all know."

Which one of the black guys are you talking about Bill C. or Jesse J.?
