No evidence OBL killed in earthquake
2005-10-10
No evidence suggests that the deadly earthquake that rocked Pakistan on Saturday injured or killed the world’s top terror leader, Osama Bin Laden.
And Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

The quake shook the border region of Afghanistan and Pakistan, where Bin Laden is believed to be hiding. However, authorities at this point have no information indicating he’s been injured or killed, said a US official.

Bin Laden is now believed to be living a relatively isolated existence to evade capture. He was last seen publicly on a videotaped message before the November 2004 elections in US.

Meanwhile, scores of activists from an Islamist charity linked to a banned Pakistani terrorist militant organization died in the devastating earthquake.
Good.

A spokesman for Jamat-ud-Dawa, a group drawn from the ranks of Lashkar, said the charity’s ammo dumps mosques, hospitals, schools, and terrorism training seminaries were obliterated in Saturday’s earthquake. “Many of our members have been killed. They are in scores while several others are still trapped under the rubble,” the spokesman said yesterday.

#2  I thought the Paki Nukes were sited about 90miles north of the capital.
That would put their silo's right in the earthquake zone. Wonder how they survived?

#1  I remember some propaganda leaflets passed out in Afghanistan that showed Osama as mustached, but otherwise clean shaven, and wearing a cheap looking suit with wide lapels and a tie.

I swear he looked like Gomez Addams.
