Islamabad — A junior Pakistani government minister said Friday that two elder sons of Osama bin Laden had been captured in a bloody operation in Afghanistan. The White House immediately cast doubt on the report, though CNBC later cited government sources allegedly confirming that a single son had been captured.

Both reports were disputed by the Pakistani Interior Minister. And Reuters has quoted Abdul Karim Barawi, governor of the Afghan province in question, saying that U.S. troops are present in his area but that "they have not started any operation."

Baluchistan home minister Sanaullah Zehri made his claim on a privately owned television station and repeated it in a telephone interview.

"They were arrested from Rabat area in Afghanistan," Mr. Zehri said. he did not identify exacly who had been nabbed, but said that seven other al-Qaeda suspects had been killed in the operation.

U.S. counterterrorism officials initially said that that they had no information that would suggest that any of the sons had been detained. There was no immediate substantiation of the CNCB report.

Mr. bin Laden's eldest son, Saad, has been tipped as a possible successor at the head of al-Qaeda and is on the FBI's most-wanted list.

Monsoor Ijaz is saying that a raid took place in Baluchistan during the course of the raid, which included heavy gunfire they captured two people they "believe" are the two sons of Bin Laden...the government is saying that they can't confirm that it was the "sons"........(and not the father?)

Monsoor Ijaz is saying that a raid took place in Baluchistan...

If I heard Monsoor correctly, he stated that it was the Governor (or equivalent) of Baluchistan being interviewed on BBC that had beed listening into for twenty minutes. Monsoor commented that if anyone would know what is going on in his province that he would be the guy. Also commented that the people were Arabs. Ijaz seems pretty certain that the story that 7 died and 2 important bad guys survived is true. The question is who are they.

This interview was in Irdu and I have no idea how fast (or whether) this will get translated by the BBC. Fox has a goldmine with this guy.

Notice what I use...

A CD player playing the Barry Manilow Greatest Hits CD is not yet (despite the best efforts of the ACLU) considered torture.

"Here at the CO-pa...CO-pa-ca-BAN-a..."

[hchutch]

Yeah, but what about those of us who need to... vent?

[packrat01]

cruel and unusual, is still cruel and unusual. best way to get away with it is to start treating all prisoners everywhere to the CO-pa...CO-pa-ca-BAN-a...
