BREAKING NEWS: bin Laden surrounded by U.S. troops

12/13/2001

CNN and NBC


Osama bin Laden is believed to be surrounded by opposition and U.S. forces in a cave complex at Tora Bora, senior military officials told CNN and NBC News Thursday afternoon.

Afghan troops and U.S. commandos have surrounded the cave complex in Tora Bora where officials suspect Osama bin Laden is hiding with his al-Qaida fighters, the officials said.

U.S. officials said their best evidence indicates bin Laden is in the cave, but a senior officer admitted they didn’t know for sure.

The official would not be specific about the size of the area bin Laden was believed to be in.

While acknowledging bin Laden could still slip out of the Tora Bora area, the official said, "Wouldn't it be a great Christmas gift if we can get him before Christmas?"

The report came on the same day the Pentagon released a videotape showing bin Laden talking with associates about the planning and details of the attacks on New York and Washington.

On the tape, bin Laden brags in Arabic he knew about the attacks beforehand and says the World Trade Center's destruction exceeded his hopes.

CIA paramilitary forces and British commandos were also helping to surround the caves.

NBC's Jim Miklaszewski reported from the Pentagon that defense officials believed they were closing in on bin Laden, and that he won't be taken alive.

More to come…

Give him a sex change and hire her off as a domestic servant in a devout fundamentalist Muslim household....

 

[.:KNAS:.]

america has in her constitution something that forbides cruel and unusual punsiments. i think giving him a sexchange is rather unusual dont ya think?

Actually when they go in they should have video cameras rolling. That way if he surrenders the world can see him on his knees begging for his life.

Probably won't happen that way though. They'll either find him already dead having killed himself, or the whole damn cave will blow up on them.

Once Bin Laden is gone America Saddam will be officially no.1 badass again




I am reminded of the Goon Show called "The Great International Christmas Pudding Episode" when neddy and company are trying to capture a savage part of the Pudding...

"Quick, surround Africa!" may aswell be "Quick, surround Afghanistan"

The pudding was eaten...I suspect that moron578 deserves the same fate.
