If this is already posted somewhere, I apologize. I just didn't see it and figured better safe than sorry.
If you get an email with the following text IT IS A HOAX AND CONTAINS A VIRUS:
Osama Bin Ladin was found hanged by two CNN journalists early Wedensday evening.
As evidence they took several photos, some of which i have included here. As yet, t
his information has not hit the headlines due to Bush wanting confirmation of his id
ent
ity but the journalists have released some early photos over the internet

In spite of your warning, someone might inadvertently click on the link and install the virus straight from here! You'd better make the link unclickable.
Just a thought.

Wow--this is serious... What is the subjectline?? If I had seen that in an e-mail I would have probably clicked it-but I can see from the link that its a zipped file... you would have to download the file and unzip it for the virus to infect your PC Which most wouldnt do.

Yeah CNN was talking about this yesterday. They said we have ZERO evidence of it.
I would never click an email link for pictures anyway. The news sites and news channels would have them up soon enough.

I don't know any details, but I did make it so you can't open it from my post.

Osama Bin Ladin was found hanged by two CNN journalists early Wedensday evening.
That is certainly one poorly written sentence. I heard about this on the radio the other day and they said the subject line is "Osama Bin Laden suicide photos." Yet that sentence makes it sound like the CNN journalists are the ones who did the hanging.
