WASHINGTON — A senior associate of Usama bin Laden has surrendered to Saudi Arabian authorities, FOX News has confirmed.

Jalid al-Harbi, also known as Abu Suleiman al-Makki or "the crippled sheikh," apparently turned himself in to the Saudi embassy in Tehran, Iran in response to the amnesty offered last month by Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah on behalf of his incapacitated brother King Fahd.

Good news. If the media would let this stuff out more, Bush would be 10 pts. ahead of where he is now.

The liberal press is silent. So, when did all this happen? The masses are left ignorant of American successes.

If we put underwear on his head, we'd have all heard about what a saint he was by now. At least we'd know he surrendered.

Yes thanks but it seems that the search engine on FR is not very good

Perhaps I don't know the best way to do a search

Would appreciate some advise on the best way to search

Its just the problem that the same article was worded different by seperate authors.

I haven found no good way around it other than scroll down the breaking news and right side. and even then it can be missed.

Great news.

Not if he's going to Saudi Arabia to take advantage of their amnesty offer.

Their amnesty offer is only that they wont get death, they could still live al of their days in a dark dungeon.

I would rather then die too for what its worth.

A senior associate of Usama bin Laden

How about "a bloodthirsty terrorist!" Senior Associate indeed.

HINT TO MEDIA: We ain't talking about a partner in a Wall Street firm or in some Washington law outfit. We are talking about a plotting, scheming MURDERER. Get it right.

What all US press will fail to mention but here it is from Al Jazeera:

Al-Harbi, who was wounded while fighting in Bosnia, taught courses in Islam at the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Islam's holiest site, but dropped out of sight after the 11 September attacks. He is believed to have fled to Afghanistan via Iran at the time, and is alleged to have appeared alongside bin Ladin in a video aired by Aljazeera television in December 2001, during which he claimed that Muslim scholars "bless" the al-Qaida's actions

Hey you got the mainstream all wrong.  Maureen McDowd is announcing that "Usama bin Laden has surrendered to Saudi Arabian authorities, FOX News has confirmed" proving once again that Fox (like Bush) can't be trusted.
