Turn on your TV. Osama Bin Laden has been captured. While CNN has no pictures at this point of time, the military channel (PPV) released some pictures. I managed to capture a couple of these pictures off my TV. Ive attached a slideshow containing all the pictures I managed to capture. I apologize for the low quality, its the best I could do at this point of time. Hopefully CNN will have pictures and a video soon. God bless the USA! Colby Huerta

Anyway, don't open it.

4. Someone earlier posted the same thing .....

don't open it if it's a zip file. Delete it. I will try and find the earlier post, a posible virus was mentioned. Peace. :)

5. There is a spate of OBL-related VIRUSES going round

DO NOT - I repeat DO NOT open these attachments! In fact do not open ANY email attachments unless you know what they are and who they're from (and were expecting them). 'From' email addresses can be faked so don't go by that, either. This is how viruses and worms get around and there are a ton of them going around right now.

6. Here's the post from earlier ........

9. Thanks. The email it was sent to is suspicious.

It is relatively new and only used for Lyme Disease issues.

8. Email attack

I got an email alert to watch out for an Osama capture email
about a month ago.  Hope it's not the same one.  Good Luck!
