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.

And our media had best frontpage news headline the local Pakistan soldiers and then our forces. Our SpecOps guys would want this as well as they can never be identified nor are in it for the recognition as per training.

Thanks, TaRaRa... Now, are they caught or are they not?

[jaugust]

Appreciate your insight. But, would any of these other tribes be powerful enough to oust a madman who quite possibly may have WMD? And would the ME be a more stable region as a result? Not saying that it would be without SM.
Right now it would seem to me that Hussein has the upper hand in squelching any uprising which may occur.

Yes we need to get our oil from elsewhere, but politicians (liberal Dems in particular) keep blocking us from achieving that.

BTW, there were also many who said that body bags would be coming out of Iraq by the truckload in the first Gulf War.

I worry more about what would happen if we do nothing.

PS I notice from your page that you have served in the USAF. I was in the USN: 1973-1977

[Marysecretary]

Now THAT is funny.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Hey, Osama, Hey Osama,
We got your sons and we'll get yo' mama

[ArGee]

Perhaps we can let it be leaked that we may "Pearle" the gentlemen it would lead to "negotiations."

Shalom.

WH has been trying to hold off on confirming this until Powell is done at UN - does not want to step on Powell. Looks like it may be slipping out anyway.
