Voila ce que j'ai pu trouver... mais bon à lire avec un certain recul..
[color=darkred]Bin Laden captured (again)?
Isabelle Hontebeyrie
Quoting Iran's state radio, The Associated Press announced that Bin Laden had been captured in Pakistan a long time ago, information denied by a Pakistan army spokesman.
IRNA, the Islamic Republic News Agency reported the information without, at the moment, adding any denial to the story.
According to IRNA, the state radio said:
"The capture of the al-Qaeda leader has been made sometime before, but (US President George W.) Bush is intending to announce it when the American presidential election is held."
Contacted by IRNA, an IRIB announcer at the Pusthtun service, confirmed the news, which he said, they had got from a 'very reliable source' in Peshawar, Pakistan.
'Osama bin Laden has been arrested a long time ago, but (US President George W.) Bush is intending to use it for propaganda maneuvering in the presidential election,' he said. Osama's head on a platter is believed to be a big boost to Bush's presidential chances, which are increasingly being eclipsed by Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry. […] Visiting Kabul on Thursday, Rumsfeld said he believes Osama will be caught, but has no idea when."
Conflicting reports about the al-Qaeda leader had surfaced February 22nd when Asian, Mid-Eastern and European media has announced the Pakistani Army has surrounded Bin Laden. The US was mum for a while before cautiously saying that a search was being conducted.
Why would Iran make such a statement? Could it be to divert attention from it's nuclear capability reports? Could it be that Iran wants to try, by any means, to discredit George W. Bush in hopes of raising questions, just as the election campaign is starting? Could it be that Pakistan's attitude has been, in the last weeks, more than friendly towards the US… maybe to make good on it's nuclear program?
Whatever the motives, one thing is sure, we can only expect more rumors on Iraq, war and Bin Laden to surface as election day gets near.[/color]
Mais bon Ben Laden est toujours recherché sur le site du FBI...
