We Got Him?
Reuters reports that Iranian sources say Bin Laden is in US custody.
The U.S. Department of Defense denied reports by Iran's official IRNA news agency Saturday that al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has been captured.
IRNA quoted a story on Iran's state radio Pashtun service which reported "a very reliable source" as saying bin Laden had been captured in a tribal area of Pakistan. ...
The Iranian reporter's source claims that the elusive terrorist has been in custody for some time, but did not specify. Reports that he had been captured up to a year ago had surfaced, but it's unclear if they were from the same source. The reporter alleges that the Bush administration is keeping the information quiet in order to time the release better in the election cycle.
