Usama bin Laden is alive. That's the conclusion of U.S. intelligence analysts who officially determined Monday that an audiotape broadcast last week was the voice of the international terror mastermind. The analysis of the tape was performed by technical experts, linguists and translators at the CIA and National Security Agency, who compared the message to previous recordings of bin Laden. They are as certain as they can be that it is genuine, the intelligence official said.
That's the definitly maybe part.
The Al-Jazeera journalist who obtained the tape said it was delivered to him in Pakistan
Whoodathunkit?
He sounded undeterred by the loss of his home in the Taliban's Afghanistan or by the death and capture of several of his closest lieutenants.
Not much of a loss really. |
