"Bin Laden’s son reportedly killed by US strike in Pakistan; Has been linked to ’03 bombing in Saudi Arabia" by Joby Warrick, Washington Post | July 24, 2009

WASHINGTON - The second-oldest son of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden apparently was killed in a US missile strike inside Pakistan this year, US counterterrorism officials said yesterday.

But not yesterday? So why is it being released now?

Saad bin Laden, 27, an Al Qaeda member who has been linked to terrorist bombings in Saudi Arabia, is believed to have been among the victims of a series of strikes by unmanned CIA Predator aircraft in the past few months, the officials said. If confirmed, he would be the closest relative to bin Laden killed by US forces since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington.

Blah, blah, blah.

“There are some indications that he may be dead, but it’s not 100 percent certain,’’ said a Washington-based counterterrorism official who spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing the sensitive nature of CIA operations along the Pakistan-Afghanistan frontier. He declined to say precisely when and where the strike occurred.

Yup, the SON JOINED the FATHER, eh?

Confirming the identities of victims of such attacks is difficult because most occur in rugged, isolated regions largely under Taliban control. Although Al Qaeda often issues “martyrdom’’ statements announcing the deaths of operatives, there has been no such statement for bin Laden. Saad bin Laden has long been associated with the terrorist group and is believed to have spent much of the past few years moving between Iran and the Pakistani border region....

Pfffft!

Still, US officials played down his role as a leader of the terrorist group....

Yes, this propaganda piece of s*** from the WaPo should do nicely.

Just wondering why WaPo or the Globe decided to ignore this:

"Bin Laden son probably killed, Taliban leader lives" by Simon Cameron-Moore | July 23, 2009

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - U.S. special envoy to Pakistan and Afghanistan Richard Holbrooke told journalists in Islamabad the Pakistan army's priority was securing the Swat and Buner valleys, to make them safe for some 2.5 million people to go home.

It's over 3, but at least they are going in the right direction, so to speak.

The United Nations said almost 400,000 people had returned, which Holbrooke said was "good news" before cautioning that they needed security....

Holbrooke said this was the likely reason why the army was delaying an all-out assault further west against the stronghold of Pakistani Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud in the remote South Waziristan tribal region. "I think Baitullah Mehsud is one of the most dangerous and odious people in the region and the United States had paid insufficient attention to him until recently," he said.

And he's our guy!

Here you go, Dick. Happy digging!

Although Pakistan is focused on its own enemies first, Holbrooke stressed the increasingly tight cooperation between the Pakistani and U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan.

Pakistan has moved forces to Baluchistan to patrol the southwest province's border with Helmand, the southern Afghan province where U.S. forces began an operation against the Taliban earlier this month.

As if all those lies weren't enough, they load on this pile of crapola as a cherry.

"US-born man who fought with Al Qaeda pleads guilty; Cooperates with US officials after conspiracy charges" by Sebastian Rotella and Josh Meyer, Los Angeles Times | July 23, 2009

I SMELL "Al-CIA-Duh"

WASHINGTON - An American from Long Island, N.Y., who was captured while fighting as an Al Qaeda militant in Pakistan has pleaded guilty to charges of conspiring to commit murder outside the United States and is now cooperating with authorities, according to a federal indictment and interviews with US and European officials.

Bryant Neal Vinas, 26, is one of a handful of Americans known to have made the trek to Al Qaeda’s secret Pakistani compounds, and his cooperation is opening a rare window into the world of Western militants in the network’s hide-outs, anti-terrorism officials said.

This is such absolute s***, readers!

Vinas has admitted to meeting Al Qaeda operations chiefs and giving them information for a potential attack on New York commuter trains, conversations that resulted in a public alert in November, said the officials, who requested anonymity because the case is ongoing.

So he was at Langley to talk with his case officer, huh?

Vinas told investigators that he fired rockets during a militant attack on a US military base in Afghanistan, the officials said. Pakistani forces captured him in November, and he is in US custody.

What a crock!

An indictment was unsealed yesterday after repeated queries from the Los Angeles Times in recent weeks. Until then, the case had remained a closely guarded secret at the heart of interconnected investigations in at least seven countries.

Yeah, they don't like to expose their inform...., 'er, assets or agents!

“It is a massive case,’’ said a US Justice Department official.

The US-born son of immigrants from Peru and Argentina, Vinas was raised a Roman Catholic and played baseball in tidy working-class suburbs where Elks lodges mixed with taquerias. His unlikely transformation into an Al Qaeda fighter nicknamed “Bashir el Amriki’’ (Bashir the American) underscores fears that other Americans followed the same route, officials said.

Yeah, I guess now that ADAM GADAHN has been OUTED as Adam PEARLMAN they need a NEW AmeriKan "Al-CIA-Duh," huh?

“His background is clearly unusual,’’ said a senior European anti-terrorism official. “I am not aware of other Americans who went with him or who have trained recently in [Pakistan]. . . . He stands out. A Latino American is an unusual profile.’’

The FURTHER YOU READ the MORE the PROPAGANDA REEKS!!!

Since his capture, Vinas has been talkative and cooperative. He has provided a detailed account of his sojourn and lengthy testimony for upcoming terrorism trials in Europe, the officials said.

He's an AGENT, INFORMANT or ASSET, readers!!!

In March, he gave a statement to a Belgian magistrate and investigators in New York that will be used as evidence against three jailed Belgians who admitted to training with Al Qaeda, according to European and US officials. Vinas’s father says he does not know where his son is.

Or even who he is.

“The FBI asked me all kinds of questions about him, but they don’t tell me nothing,’’ said Juan Vinas of Patchogue, N.Y.

Even during the years when Osama bin Laden’s Afghan camps trained thousands, US recruits were scarce.

Ahem: U.S. Training Terrorists in Nevada

Bryant Vinas told investigators that he arrived in December 2007 in the northwestern Pakistani badlands dominated by Al Qaeda and the Taliban, according to anti-terrorism officials.

Yeah, gimme that salt shaker; I need a grain.

Whatever happened to those peace talks, huh?
