| Binny's kid detained in Iran? |
| 2002-11-03 |
| Iranian security forces have detained at least one of Osama bin Laden's sons along with several hundred people suspected of having links to the al-Qaeda organisation. The captures happened on Iranian territory as the group fled Afghanistan, according to an Iranian official. The official, who asked not to be identified, said Mr bin Laden's son was handed over to either the Saudi or Pakistani authorities. He declined to give any details of the son's identity and said he could not confirm reports that one of Mr bin Laden's wives had also been detained in Iran. Previous reports of detentions in Iran have proven to be pretty insubstantial — for instance, Zawahiri was reported jugged in February, but he appeared to evaporate from the calaboose without comment. If there's anything to this, and he wasn't dumped to Soddy Arabia, then I'll ululate, but until there are further details, I'll put it in the same category as Ayman's "drunk and disorderly" time... |
