Arrested were Saad and Hamza bin Laden, two of what are believed to be 14 to 18 sons of Osama bin Laden, the leader of the al-Qaida terrorist organization. Saad is believed closely tied to the operations of al-Qaida.

In Washington, U.S. counterterrorism officials strongly disputed reports saying bin Laden's sons were captured. They said they had no information that would suggest any of the sons had been detained.

Zehri refused to say which military units were involved.

"They were allied forces," he said, operating near Rabat in the extreme southwestern tip of Afghanistan where it borders Pakistan and Iran.

Some sources claim Bin Laden has at least 23 children by several wives. Saad is one the oldest, in his early 20s and has emerged as an al-Qaida leader and one of America's top two dozen targets in the network. Mohammed and Ahmed bin Laden also support their father's efforts, U.S. officials say.

Bin Laden's son Saad was recently in the Iranian capital, Tehran, European anti-terrorism officials told ABCNEWS, and it was a cell phone call to him that turned authorities onto bin Laden's trail

"His son, apparently Saad, is in Iran and some of his wives also are in Iran and he has made apparently a big mistake," said ABCNEWS terrorism consultant Vince Cannistraro.

Though bin Laden's voice patterns were identified in the intercepted cell phone conversation, U.S. officials are aware that the call could have been a decoy to try to get bin Laden's pursuers off the trail.

Which Pile-O-$hit are you referring to? There are so many in congress and around the world!

I was watching MSNBC's coverage of this arrest and all the sudden it was preempted by a blue screen "Civil Emergency Alert - Tune to channel 10 for more". Freaked me out. I was thinking, WTH, did a nuke go off in Atlanta???

Turns out it was a missing child alert which is sad but... I guess this is GA's equivalent to an Amber alert.

Geraldo on FoxNews is ecstatic about this news...says it is HUGE (hugh, even)...says papa Bin Laden can't be too far away.

[jaugust]

No trades...Osama's sons unleahed will be just as dangerous as the ol' man himself...

And our wives who might feel safer now tonight can do a little mattress dancing.

If we got Mohammed and Saad, it IS big. And the noose is tightening for OBL and Zawahiri.

I wonder how much that Sheik Mohammed, arrested last Saturday, is singing.

Hopefully, the CIA can trace some of the Al Qaeda initiatives to them so as to tie things up in a nice legal bow.

I think there's going to be some nice bow-tying in the next few days.

[My Favorite Headache]

Check his sons for a coffee can of ashes...more than likely...bin-Laden is in that can.
