Both the Northeast Intelligence website and Steve Quayle's website are reporting that Osama bin Laden has been captured. They say this has been confirmed by two sources but are still waiting for additional confirmations.

I don't know how reliable northeast intelligence is but I can say that they updated their website at 7:05 eastern time tonight to read the following:

22 January 2004; 1905 EST: UPDATE: We are aware of the denials issued by the United States Department of State and the reports of US denials carried by various news outlets such as Reuters that Osama bin Laden has not been captured. We became aware of the initial rumor of his capture at the time it began circulating earlier today, and we were fully aware of the official denial. We do have verifiable intelligence, however, of "unusual movements and activities" of special US forces in certain areas where bin Laden and al Zawahiri have reportedly been seen - however we will NOT disclose this information to avoid compromising the safety, welfare and special operations of our men and women of the military. According to two highly placed and credible human sources within the intelligence community, these movements are indeed related to a "HVT" (High Value Target) within al Qaeda. Our sources are firm in their assertions that there is a "significant advancement" in the ongoing war on terror.



Within the last six months, we could have issued reports that Osama bin Laden was captured by the Saudi's, by our own military task force, and even held by an opposing faction in Iran. As we were NOT able to verify this intelligence through credible human sources, that information never saw the light of day. This report, although denied by the US Department of State, appears to have much more validity than originally expected. Whether Osama bin Laden is the "HVT" and whether he is in custody remains to be seen.



We are following this matter closely and will report our findings as they are confirmed.

It sounds like something's going on - perhaps not Osama but a close aide.

Keeping the fingers crossed!

I'm NOT saying these reports are true - I'm just telling all what I'm seeing on these sites. I know that Beer follows them, too.

It kind of freaked me out when I saw that he had listed a possible threat in Philadelphia of an attack at the football stadium this past weekend! :eek:

I will keep an eye on it but I doubt it. It would be hard to keep a lid on it for too long. It would throw a kink into the jihad countdown clock for our end though.

2 Qaeda bigshots held in Karachi

Staff Report

KARACHI: Members of the intelligence agencies raided a flat in a residential project in Gulistan-e-Jauhar and arrested Walid bin Azmi, a member of Osama bin Laden?s Al Qaeda network late on Wednesday night.

Sources said members of an intelligence agency raided a flat in one of the Dolmen housing projects in Block 15 of Gulistan-e-Jauhar and arrested bin Azmi, who is believed to be one of the four suspects involved in the bombing of US navy ship USS Cole on October 12, 2000. The sources said a mobile phone and Pakistani currency were recovered from bin Azmi.

Meanwhile, intelligence agencies arrested another important Al Qaeda operative, Ibad Al Yaquti Al Sheikh Al Sufiyan, at Rabia City apartments in Gulistan-e-Jauhar late Thursday night. He was arrested following a lead given by Waleed Bin Azmi, who was arrested in Gulistan-e-Jauhar late Wednesday night. Two satellite phones, one mobile phone, one laptop computer and two passports were recovered from Al Yaquti?s possession. No details were available about the passports. Al Yaquti is a resident of Dammam, Saudi Arabia.

Doug Hagman from Northeast Intelligence -- http://www.homlandsecurityus.com

was on a local radio station this morning (he and Steve Quayle are on every week or so)

He said we all should know something within 72 hours or so. Keep your ears out. Mid level governmental operatives are saying something happened, it is the upper echelon of the government that is denying it, probably to cover for the men in the field to get to a safe location.

Sorry, to post again here, but...

Several jihadist message boards have responses that he has been captured and his replacement will be named soon

That would be great if it did happen. I can understand the secrecy though until all of the operatives are safe and sound.

I'm not saying it did, but just that these men are saying something big did go down and we will know soon.
