Iran`s state radio says Osama bin Laden captured
(Adds confirmation)
Tehran, Feb 28, IRNA -- Iran`s state radio has quoted an informed source as saying that Osama bin Laden had been captured in a tribal region in Pakistan.
The radio`s external service, broadcast in Pushtun, said US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld`s trip to Pakistan on Thursday had been made in connection with the capture.
The radio said, "The capture of the al-Qaeda leader has been made sometime before, but (US President George W.) Bush is intending to
announce it when the American presidential election is held."
Contacted by IRNA, an IRIB announcer at the Pusthtun service, confirmed the news, which he said, they had got from a `very reliable source` in Peshawar, Pakistan.
"Osama bin Laden has been arrested a long time ago, but (US President George W.) Bush is intending to use it for propaganda maneuvering in the presidential election," he said.
Osama`s head on a platter is believed to be a big boost to Bush`s presidential chances, which are increasingly being eclipsed by Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry.
The Saudi-born dissident is accused of masterminding the September 11, 2001 attacks on American landmarks in New York and Washington.
Visiting Kabul on Thursday, Rumsfeld said he believes Osama will be caught, but has no idea when.

I don't believe it and if it turns out right it would be one of the worst things Bush ever did (except starting the war, end ........)
Osama is a treat to the whole world but he is still Human and none can take his rights away.
holding back this information is plain stupid.

I believe that Osama has been caught a long time ago. But this is the trump to make that clown called Bush have more votes and win the elections...
I can't believe that Bush and Blair are in the list for the Peace Nobel. This is not to laugh this is to cry and a lot.
Specially after read his decision about mines... he intended to make all U.S. land mines detectable to American forces and scrap those that are not timed to self-destruct. But it will not join the 150 nations that have signed an anti-land mine treaty. The U.S. is the only country in NATO that hasn't banned this weapon and will continue using land mines indefinitely.
And the world is scared about Osama?? Pls.. the world must be scared about this f**king asshole that is not more then a puppet.

I agree, the next in rank would just get "promoted" if he would be captured ...

I don't think this is a problem we can escape whit out looking at the reasons why they are doing these things.
I’m not saying Al Qaeda is right but fundamentally they are doing what they think is right, there are just people like Bin laden who take advantage of them.
