Osama caught?

If it is true, it would be great. But why wait to tell us? Oh I forgot it is Bushs way.

(Adds confirmation)
Tehran, Feb 28, IRNA -- Iran`s state radio has quoted an informed
source as saying that Osama bin Laden had been captured in a tribal
region in Pakistan.
The radio`s external service, broadcast in Pushtun, said US
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld`s trip to Pakistan on Thursday
had been made in connection with the capture.
The radio said, "The capture of the al-Qaeda leader has been made
sometime before, but (US President George W.) Bush is intending to
announce it when the American presidential election is held."
Contacted by IRNA, an IRIB announcer at the Pusthtun service,
confirmed the news, which he said, they had got from a `very reliable
source` in Peshawar, Pakistan.
"Osama bin Laden has been arrested a long time ago, but (US
President George W.) Bush is intending to use it for propaganda
maneuvering in the presidential election," he said.
Osama`s head on a platter is believed to be a big boost to Bush`s
presidential chances, which are increasingly being eclipsed by
Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry.
The Saudi-born dissident is accused of masterminding the September
11, 2001 attacks on American landmarks in New York and Washington.
Visiting Kabul on Thursday, Rumsfeld said he believes Osama will
be caught, but has no idea when.
