I am not sure the incident took place at all, as I'd heard from a source within MI5 that he'd been hiding in the Arsenal trophy cabinet for the last six years.

Apparently the Irish SAS tried to get involved. They raided Debenhams after seeing the sign for 'Summer Bed Linen'.

It most certainly does. And the Bin Laden compound is now a tourist attraction in Pakistan, with families heading out their to take photos and have an afternoon picnic.

There's nothing perverse about it, as usual, its people looking for a convenient conspiracy theory!

Obama's reasons for not releasing the photos are fair.

I was talking about the photos released on the Guardian website. They clearly show very graphic images of corpses following the US raid. If these shots are released, then why not the photos of Bin Laden? This is my question.

Warning: The link I have added contains some graphic and violent images, as acknowledged by the Guardian website. Do not click to view them if you are easily upset or offended. If I have broken any forum rules in posting this link, I sincerely apologize to the RailUK staff.

According to the BBC tonight, Al Q'aeda have acknowledged in a statement that Bin Laden is indeed dead, therefore there is now no need at all for the photographs to be released.

As to the compound in Abbottabad, it appears it will indeed be razed to the ground very soon.





Meanwhile, one joke someone showed me at work appears not to have got onto this thread yet:

It has been leaked that the US Navy rushed Elton John onto the aircraft carrier for Bin Laden's funeral the other day; apparently he sang "Sandals in the bin".

Indeed they have. I hear the news on Friday afternoon. I'm hoping that this story will settle down now.
