There's a special report on the news right now - At lease 7 Al Qaeda guys killed in a firefight and a few of Bin Laden's sons captured.

Re: Rumor - bin Laden's son Captured

He probably has like 30 sons. He himself was one of 56 children. Can you frickin believe that?

While it would be great to get bin Laden (I doubt he'll allow himself to be taken alive, actually - kill himself or have his bodyguards kill him before we get him), it doesn't really matter. You cut the head of the Hydra (monster), 3 more grow in its place....

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Two sons of Usama bin Laden were arrested in southeastern Afghanistan in a joint operation involving Pakistani and U.S. forces, Pakistan's provincial home minister Sanaullah Zehri said.

'They were arrested from Rabat area in Afghanistan,' he told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. He did not identify the sons, but said that seven other Al Qaeda men were killed in the operation.

Re: Rumor - bin Laden's son Captured

as long as they capture them. I agree with Rachel, he will either kill himself or have his bodyguards kill him because he will not be taken alive.

but they have gotten one person a week ago and now they are closing in on this monster.

I hope they capture them all. I know there are cells out there and they are all running, but let them run because they cant run forever

Here's what the NYTimes is saying:
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) -- Two sons of Osama bin Laden were arrested in southeastern Afghanistan in a joint operation involving U.S. forces, Pakistan's provincial home minister Sanaullah Zehri said.

``They were arrested from Rabat area in Afghanistan,'' he told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. He did not identify the sons, but said that seven other Al Qaida men were killed in the operation.

Arrested were Saad and Hamza bin Laden, two of what are believed to be 14 to 18 sons of Osama bin Laden, the leader of the al-Qaida terrorist organization. Saad is believed closely tied to the operations of al-Qaida.

In Washington, U.S. counterterrorism officials strongly disputed reports saying bin Laden's sons were captured. They said they had no information that would suggest any of the sons had been detained.

Zehri refused to say which military units were involved.

'They were allied forces,' he said, operating near Rabat in the extreme southwestern tip of Afghanistan where it borders Pakistan and Iran.

Some sources claim Bin Laden has at least 23 children by several wives. Saad is one the oldest, in his early 20s and has emerged as an al-Qaida leader and one of America's top two dozen targets in the network. Mohammed and Ahmed bin Laden also support their father's efforts, U.S. officials say.
