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.

Nine Al Qaeda Killed on Pakistan Border -Official 3 minutes ago

Hmmm, maybe the word of the arrest was premature, and the 2 sons died of their wounds.

[Grampa Dave]

This is probably why GW had that concerned look on his face last night during his speech.

He knew what was going on and the importance of this capture and raid. Also, as a real man, he was concerned about the safety of our Spec Ops and the Pakis who helped us.

This raid may have been going on as he made his press conference or ready to start.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, there's that. ; ) How could I have left that egregious error out.

Re: #163 -- Methinks you're right, though I had thought OBL was pushing up daisies.

[Valin]

I just heard on the radio that other sourses are saying it OBL has not been captured.
I'll try and find out more

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

I saw on CBS News last night that 'local' operatives are upset they are not getting any credit in captures 9US getting ALL credit they say)especially the latest one Mohammed Whathisname that looks like Jim Belushi after a 7 day binge.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

My son is working at Merrill Lynch. He called to tell me that, after the capture, they started buying Sears.
"Why Sears?"

Blix is talking. Sounds like he's sticking with Saddam. But that's another thread. Just thought I'd mention it.
