Bin Laden Changes His Face

TEHRAN, Oct 3 (IslamOnline & News Agencies) - Afghanistan's Northern Alliance (NA), which has been fighting against the ruling Taliban, is claiming that Osama bin Laden has changed his face through plastic surgery to frustrate a massive hunt launched by U.S. and British forces to arrest him.
Bin Laden is still in Afghanistan with a new face and identity, an NA official told the Iranian newspaper, Intekhab, in an interview at Pungsher Valley, in northern Afghanistan.
Various plastic surgery experts trickled into Afghanistan from Chaman, a small Pakistani town, which borders Afghanistan some 250 kilometers from Kandahar, the official, who could not tell what the nationalities of the plastic surgeons were, claimed.
"They might be Arabs or Iranians," he said.
"But we have concrete reports that they were hired on heavy expenses," he added.
"They have totally changed bin Laden's looks," he said, adding that, "this has been done to avoid his arrest by U.S. and British forces."
"We are looking for his current picture, but unfortunately we have not succeeded so far," the NA official said.
"As soon as we find his [bin Laden's] current photograph, we will provide it to the international media," he maintained.
The U.S. claims that bin Laden masterminded the September 11th attacks in Washington and New York, but have yet to release any tangible evidence to prove his involvement in the attacks.

Biometric scanners would still be able to recognize him, because the primary measurement they use is the distance between the eyes. This can not be changed with plastic surgery.

Damm! I guess we'll have to kill them all, just to be sure...
(At least all the TALL ones...)

The CIA can, if they don't have the software already, go to any decent plastic surgeon to get computerized pics of what he'd look like with various nose jobs, cheek implants, etc. They should be able to find a younger pic of OBL w/o a beard. I sure hope they're doing what they are supposed to be doing.

Why does the movie "Spies like us" suddenly come to mind...
To: Dog Gone
A shave, a business suit and eyeglasses would do wonders. But those thick lips are probably what the surgeons would alter. Someone should do a picture of him beardless, with thinner lips.

I'd like to see some FReeper renditions of what Osama MAY look like now.

It shouldn't be too hard to spot him. Just look for the tall guy being followed around by a crowd of guys kissing his butt.
To: EggsAckley
If so, I hope they sewed him up with pig gut.

I sure hope they're doing what they are supposed to be doing. Right. Instead of sewing diversity quilts.

If we could send some plastic surgeons in under cover, they could perform that sex-change operation on Bin Laden and REALLY change his looks. Wow, from Osama Bin Laden to Osama's Been Un-Laden.
Then we can sit back and watch the fun as he gets shot for trying to tell a bunch of men what to do. No muss, no fuss...

I'd like to see some FReeper renditions of what Osama MAY look like now. Picture the rear-end of a camel...

Is This Him?

STAND UP AND TAKE YOUR WHUPPIN' LIKE A MAN, you coward!
To: giotto
If this is true he should be easy to find. Look for the guy with bandage wrapped around his head or the guy with the clean shaven face and kill him.
