Osama Bin Laden Serving as Observer in Taliban Reconnaissance Squad
2004-03-01
From Jihad Unspun
The chief of Al-Qaida, Osama Bin Mohammad Bin Laden, has confronted American forces many times inside Afghanistan says a Taliban spokesman. Speaking to Ausaf sources in Khost, Taliban spokesman Mohammad Saif ul Adil has said that Osama Bin Laden and Ayman Al Zawahiri are both in Afghanistan and not Pakistan as some officials claim. He went on to say that Osama Bin Laden has confronted Americans numerous times but the Americans did not recognize him.

In one interesting incident, Osama Bin Laden stayed very close to an American outpost for 15 days to observe its activities and Mujahideen later destroyed that base in a successful operation. He also said that Mullah Omar is in Afghanistan but is not in contact with Osama bin Laden as of now.

#3  The truth behind this story is pretty easy to pull out of the lies. You see, the only part of Osama that survived the collapse of his cave was his head, from the neck up. So they recovered it, preserved it as best they could, then hollowed it out and stuck a pair of binoculars in so they could peer out of the eye sockets.

So, you see, Osama HAS been observing US troops. They haven't recognized him because the last pictures anyone had looked nothing like a dried out rotting husk.

#1  I guess my definition of confrontation doesn't include hiding in the bushes for 15 days.
