Iran denies rumors it has arrested bin Laden
Mon Feb 21 2005 10:20:00 ET

Iran denied Monday suggestions on some local Internet sites that it arrested Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, the Western world's most wanted man, on the border with Pakistan.

"This information is wrong and bin Laden has not been arrested by our security forces," government spokesman Abdollah Ramezanzadeh said at a weekly press briefing.

Some Iranian Internet sites quoted American officials as saying the Al-Qaeda leader, who has a 25-million-dollar US bounty on his head, had been arrested two weeks ago by Iranian forces.

The Saudi-born militant is blamed for the September 11, 2001 terror strikes on the United States and a string of other attacks around the world.

Boy, wouldn't it be neat if they had? Think of how mad Bush and his corrupt commercial cabal would be if they had to negotiate with the Iranians for the head they want so badly!

Bin Laden for Nukes....

A deal in the making.

1. Bin Laden for Nukes....

A deal in the making.

[Minstrel Boy]

2. I can so easily see these rumours becoming demands

that Iran hand over its imaginary bin Laden or suffer the consequences.

[Blue to the bone]

4. Interesting indeed, hadn't thought of that angle. n/t

[Robb]

3. Anyone know what sites they're talking about?

...I like to think of myself as fairly up on the webrumor circuit, and I hadn't seen any suggestion Iran had the guy.

Denial as press release? :shrug:

5. Please post a link to your article

[Blue to the bone]

6. It's reported on Drudge...no link yet posted by them. n/t

[Skink]

7. We might have to go to war sooner than we thought...

with Iran if they peg their oil to the euro.

[Randi_Listener]

8. Drudge = Douche

That site does not offer any news.

[Blue to the bone]

10. Even a blind hog finds an acorn now and again......

.....they do sometimes hit on newsworthy stories.

Nothing yet on the BBC or the Tehran Times.

[Randi_Listener]

14. And sometimes I shit corn.

That doesn't mean anyone should eat my turd.

Drudge throws shit at the wall all day. There's nothing over there that qualifies as news. You'd be better served getting shitty ideas from the National Enquirer or World News Daily.

[BrendaStarr]

24. Drudge has been shown to be wrong 2/3's of the time on his "scoops"

My guess is that he should hang a little closer to "Gannon".

[ckramer]

9. Another rightwing conspiracy!

Who wouldn't agree to invade Iran if bin Laden was there?

[HereSince1628]

11. I doubt it, but does Iran have something other than security forces?

First, I have low confidence in the possibility that this story has any credibility regards OBL capture.

Second...I know I have become a parsing addict because for me this story doesn't rule out that OBL was arrested by local police, or by some other group.

Third, is Gankertgate getting hot enough to need even more diversion??

[underpants]

15. I thought bin Laden drove the suicide car bomb in Lebanon

maybe I heard that wrong...it must have been another CIA guy

[HereSince1628]

21. No, that was Been Laden, at least he is Been now.

[Randi_Listener]

17. Bingo!

Divert! Subjugate! Obfuscate!

[underpants]

12. I just love stories introduced as denials

Really? No one had heard that they might have him but thanks for clearing that up.

Notice only 4 words between "Iran....bin Laden " -so this is what psy ops feels like

[Adams Wulff]

13. I want to be there for the presentation

Of the $25 million check!

19. with a business card from ABB

http://www.guardian.co.uk/korea/article/0,2763,952289,00.html

Mr Rumsfeld was a non-executive director of ABB, a European engineering giant based in Zurich, when it won a $200m (£125m) contract to provide the design and key components for the reactors. The current defence secretary sat on the board from 1990 to 2001, earning $190,000 a year. He left to join the Bush administration.

[Gyre]

16. I'm denying it too.

There's no way you can make me admit it either, murrikkkan fools!

Gyre

[Skink]

20. Gannon who?

[earthside]

18. They'd Let Him Go

Even if they had caught him, with the way Bush has been threatening Iran ... would you blame them if they let him go?

[renaissanceguy]

22. Then again, wouldn't it be ironic

if they caught him but we didn't.

If the Dems keep at it, there's no way BushCo can tie Iran to OBL if they actually CAUGHT him as a criminal.

23. invaded Iraq to get "Hussein"-Now we can INVADE IRAN to get BINee boy

Even If Binnie Hanna is there (or not), it makes no difference!

It's our new excuse to invade, occupy and "make the word a safer place"

Good one herr Roverer !
