No, I am saying that we captured (past tense) Osama bin Laden in Iran January 20th 2004. The report was about an US SOF operation which was "mission complete'.

The Sunday Telegraph story and the current feeding frenzy going on because of it is about an SOF op to capture OBL in NW Pakistan THAT HAS NOT OCCURED YET.

Nobody in their right mind compromises a US SOF Op on foreign territory before it occurs. Nobody.

See the difference?

NEIN reported upon a mission complete OBL capture.

These other schmucks are reporting a virtual verbatim report that has not occured yet.

Therefore, my opinion is that the Sunday Telegraph story and all the others reporting this are full of crapola, the capture occured a month ago in a completely different country.

NEIN will be updating what we know shortly.

Suffice it to say that the original source has once again reiterated the information in light of the claims by the UK tabloids.

Sean I do wonder why every other country is running with the Sunday Express story except the US. Doing a google search on Quetta the results of the Sunday Express story shows up in many countries but not the US so far. And I have heard nothing of it on any of the cabel news stations.

Twenty rockets hit Sui area

By Azizullah Khan

QUETTA: Roughly 20 rockets hit Balochistan’s Sui area but no casualties were reported, said a Sui Police Station official on Saturday.

He said 12 rockets hit a compression plant in a gas field and the Frontier Corps’ (FC) Bhambhor Rifles headquarters late Friday night. Bhambhor Rifles personnel opened fire, but no casualties were reported.

Eight more rockets hit the Sui area on Saturday night, he said, adding that their target could not be confirmed and a police contingent had been dispatched to investigate.

Earlier, residents in Sui said they heard six explosions and area officials were exaggerating. Reports from Sui stated that the FC had demolished civilian houses in an area allocated for a cantonment and that the local residents had retaliated. Several elders told a press conference that the FC personnel had violated the norms and values of the area and had rendered many residents homeless.

The Balochistan Assembly had passed a unanimous resolution opposing the forming of three new cantonments in Balochistan’s Sui, Kohlu and Gwadar areas. President Pervez Musharraf, Prime Minister Zafarullah Jamali, the Balochistan governor and chief minister had said the cantonments would be formed despite the Balochistan Assembly’s opposition.

Meanwhile, reports from Kohlu stated that two rockets were fired on Friday one of which destroyed an FC oil tanker and the other landed close to a district coordination officer’s office. No casualties were reported.
