mwhahahahahahaha. It's all coming to fruition.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

CNN just said that it's not certain. But from what I know, a Pakistani minister is the source."Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master" - Commissioner Pravin Lal.Comment

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Two sons of Usama bin Laden were arrested in southeastern Afghanistan in a joint operation involving Pakistani and U.S. forces, Pakistan's provincial home minister Sanaullah Zehri said.
"They were arrested from Rabat area in Afghanistan," he told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. He did not identify the sons, but said that seven other Al Qaeda men were killed in the operation."Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master" - Commissioner Pravin Lal.Comment

-ArrianISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Two sons of Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) were arrested in southeastern Afghanistan (news - web sites) in a joint operation involving Pakistani and U.S. forces, Pakistan's provincial home minister Sanaullah Zehri said.
"They were arrested from Rabat area in Afghanistan," he told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. He did not identify the sons, but said that seven other al-Qaida men were killed in the operation.
Arrested were Saad and Hamza bin Laden, two of what are believed to be 14 to 18 sons of Osama bin Laden, the leader of the al-Qaida terrorist organization. Saad is believed closely tied to the operations of al-Qaida.
In Washington, U.S. counterterrorism officials strongly disputed reports saying bin Laden's sons were captured. They said they had no information that would suggest any of the sons had been detained.
Zehri refused to say which military units were involved.
"They were allied forces," he said, operating near Rabat in the extreme southwestern tip of Afghanistan where it borders Pakistan and Iran.
Some sources claim Bin Laden has at least 23 children by several wives. Saad is one the oldest, in his early 20s and has emerged as an al-Qaida leader and one of America's top two dozen targets in the network. Mohammed and Ahmed bin Laden also support their father's efforts, U.S. officials say.grog want tank...Grog Want Tank... GROG WANT TANK!

If it was true, why would the US deny it? (it was reported to be a joint Pakistani/American operation)
I would have expected them to be very happy about this.If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.Comment

FP,
Maybe they wanted to keep it quiet for a little bit, hoping not to alert other Al Quaida people in the area just how good our info is (that we knew where these guys were) so we can grab them too. Though now that it's out, I dunno why not admit it.

Looks like it was a false alarm:
-ArrianISLAMABAD (AFP) - US and Pakistani officials denied an announcement by a provincial home minister that two sons of al-Qaeda Osama bin Laden were arrested in a joint US-Afghan-Pakistani operation in southeastern Afghanistan.
"There is absolutely no truth in this report. There has been no arrest of this nature," Pakistan's Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat told AFP, dismissing claims by Baluchistan province's home minister Sardar Sanaullah Zehri.
A US official who spoke on condition of anonymity from Washington also denied the reports of the capture.
"It's not true," the US official said Friday. "We have absolutely no information to substantiate that."
Zehri earlier had told reporters in the Baluch capital Quetta that he had been informed by intelligence agencies of reports that two bin Laden offspring had been arrested in the operation in the southeast Afghan town of Ribat, where Afghan, Iranian and Pakistani borders meet.
"I am in constant touch with the security forces. I was informed by intelligence agencies that the reports coming across the border (from Afghanistan) are that two of Osama's sons were caught and they were injured," Zehri said.
There was no independent confirmation of the reports the minister said he had received.
The hunt for bin Laden intensified along Pakistan's northwest border Friday, with a senior Pakistani security official warning the al-Qaeda leader could not hide for much longer if information from top terror suspect Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, nabbed in a pre-dawn raid Saturday, was correct.
Since Sheikh Mohammed's capture by US and Pakistani forces in the northern city of Rawalpindi, US planes have been seen airdropping leaflets over Baluchistan-Afghan border areas offering money for information leading to the capture of bin Laden or his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri. Both men have a 25 million dollar bounty on their head, as did Sheikh Mohammed.grog want tank...Grog Want Tank... GROG WANT TANK!

abc now reports that coalition forces are pursuing (attacking?)a large convoy in the afghan - pakistan border area. Fox seems to confirm this. Nothing on who is in the convoy."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

Aha! The op is ongoing. Hopefully, bin Laden himself is in that convoy.http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=enComment
