Pakistan denies al-Yemeni killed
2005-05-14
Pakistan denied on Saturday U.S. media reports that a senior al Qaeda leader was killed in a missile attack by an unmanned U.S. intelligence Predator aircraft on Pakistani territory near the Afghan border.
"Nope. Nope. Never happened."
ABC News, one of several U.S. news networks reporting the U.S. strike, said sources from unnamed intelligence agencies identified the man as Haitham al-Yemeni. "Nothing has happened in Pakistan. If something happened in Afghanistan, we don't know," Information Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed told Reuters.

A U.S. military spokesman in Afghanistan said he had no information about the veracity of the reports. The CIA refused to confirm or deny the report, ABC said.
"We an't sayin' nuttin'!"

I'm not not certain I caught that. I got up to the part "what if," then lost it.

#3  Ah, but what if they really killed him to make it look like they didn't kill him, and to convince everybody who thought they had killed him that they hadn't killed him, which would make everybody suspect that they had killed him, figuring that they hadn't killed him, but assuming that they had just been deceived into thinking that they had killed him, when in fact they had actually killed him and just made it look like they hadn't killed him, then told everybody that they had killed him while denying that they had killed him?
