Taliban to ABC News: OBL Alive and Safe

September 27, 2006 11:53 AM

Rahimullah Yusufzai Reports:

Osama3_nrIn a surprise phone call to the home of an ABC News producer in Pakistan, the top Taliban military commander, Mulla Dadullah Akhund, said Osama bin Laden is alive and that there is no truth to the rumors of his death from typhoid.

"Sheikh Osama is all right. He is safe," Dadullah told ABC News' Rahimullah Yusufzai. Dadullah would not disclose the location from where he was calling.

In the past, Dadullah has issued statements to the effect that bin Laden and Taliban leader Mulla Mohammad Omar are alive and leading the resistance against U.S.-led foreign forces in Afghanistan.

1. Oh Goody! I bet ABC is ready to fire up the OSAMA-tron machine
Edited on Wed Sep-27-06 12:11 PM by ShortnFiery
and have the PsyOps folks film a VIDEO of OBL toward the end of next month. :P

Fear and terror threats are all the Republicans have to run on. :grr:

On Edit: "surprise phone call to the home of an ABC News producer in Pakistan"

From who - Pvt. Gomer Pyle = Mulla Dadullah Akhund ---> PsyOps Division Executive Branch. :P

2. Boy, that is good news. I was worried about him.
Sometimes I wonder if he really exists at all.

So if he died would it make one iota of difference? For a couple of weeks it might and then we would just go right back to the way we were.

4. Why is it that these guys can contact the national media at will
but they can't be found?

6. But we know from recent past behavior that ABC would never
lie or provide disinformation to The American People. :sarcasm:

11. Appears the word is out in the ME that ABC is now BushCo's official
network station. If ABC thought they were keeping a low profile on being the BushCo Pravda station, their secret is out to the whole world now.

7. Where do I send the gift basket of mini-muffins, herb tea and foot soap?
Mulla Dadullah Akhund addressed my deepest concern. Thank you so much, Mulla Dadullah Akhund. I'm going to send a basket to you, too. Try the lemon poppy seed muffins first. They ROCK!

8. Afghanistan? Had the Taliban gone on vacation for 5 years?
it was all Mexican immigration recently. Now the media has been given their orders to focus on the Taliban?

9. So all those wild gizmos are fake on t.v.? They can't home in
on someone from background noises and come busting through the door before the culprit hangs up the phone. They can't do a trace on anyone's lines if they know the incoming phone number?

I'm disappointed :sarcasm:

13. Did they ask him how he was able to get the twin towers to free fall?
Truly amazing feat - 10 seconds. No resistance from the floors below.

And WTC 7 as a bonus.

Amazing what 19 boxcutters can do, huh?
