The Aussie site is slow: text

Afghanistan's ruling Taliban militia had placed alleged terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden under house arrest in the wake of the suicide attacks on the United States, an Arabic online newspaper reported.

Quoting "fundamentalist Arab sources", Ilaf said the "Taliban have arrested Osama bin Laden before placing him under surveillance with several of his assistants," including the head of the Egyptian branch of Al-Jihad Ayman Al-Zawahri and bin Laden's military commander, Muhammad Atef Al-Makni.

"A number of Afghan fighters are under house arrest along with bin Laden," said the report late Wednesday.

But a diplomat at the Taliban's embassy in Abu Dhabi said he could not confirm the report.

"All we know is that he (bin Laden) is somewhere in Afghanistan, but we are not aware if he is under house arrest," the diplomat said.

Bin Laden and commander Atef have been indicted for the 1998 bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

Bin Laden has emerged as the prime suspects in yesterday's kamikaze hijacked passenger jet strikes on New York and Washington.

HOLY SHNIKES!

FIRE UP THE BARBEQUE!

Does that mean he gets one of those little bracelets around his ankle???

Seriously though, they are just trying to cover their ass.  If they want to really show a sign of good faith, they need to cough him up to US authorities.

I wonder if last night's "battle" was the Afghan military trying to take bin Laden into custody?

I would love to bring Naplam to the BBQ....a Lot of Naplam....doesn't molten sand turn to glass.

                                           EXACTLY!.....just part of thier plan....too bad some fall for the "badguy" pictures on t/v and the "blame him" bullshit.....OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE!!!!!!

HKocher is right... they are just covering their asses.... hoping to stall us a bit longer so that they can poison/cripple our children with their diabolical biological/chemical agents.  That will probably be their next attack, IMHO, if we don't fry them up before they get their ducks in a row.

ARnSC,
Yes that is obvious, but do you honestly think that we can not figure that out-tons of my friends at school were talking about how amazing it is that the Taliban denied involvment so soon, as if to say: please don't kill me...he did it, he did it-there is no way we will stop at bin laden once we start to move on this one

Where exactly. Just need a grid ref, 1000x1000 sq metres, then carpet bomb the cunt!

fire in the hole
shot out
fire for effect
damn, I feel good, I think that I am going to the range tomorrow!

Over the top!!!!!!!

Now if they'd just slip us a note letting us know where he is, I'm sure we'd be happy to bomb the area.

God Bless Texas

We have approx. 20,000+ lives to avenge. Osama's life plus a couple of his associates doesn't come close to satisfying that. I say kill all his friends, their children and his whole family out to 3rd cousins.

I say lets gladly take him and then still nuke the country! It's like a rat infestation over there.

I say they can hold on to him. We'll come get him.

I think its a great time to test out our stock of FAEs!
