Osama bin Laden corpse photo is fake

Corpse photo of Osama bin Laden is fake

Image of bloodied man picked up by British newspapers has been circulating online for two years

The bloodied image of a man with matted hair and a blank, half-opened eye has been circulating on the internet for the past two years. It was used on the front pages of the Mail, Times, Telegraph, Sun and Mirror websites, though swiftly removed after the fake was exposed on Twitter.

It appears the fake picture was initially published by the Middle East online newspaper themedialine.org on 29 April 2009, with a warning from the editor that it was "unable to ascertain whether the photo is genuine or not". A simple search on the internet can reveal it. Traces of Photoshop editing can also be seen on closer inspection.

Update: Osama Bin Laden is dead - but since when?

The latest words on everyone's lips right now, is the breaking news announcement made by US President Barak Obama, that the world's number one terrorist, Osama bin Laden has been shot dead this morning in Pakistan.

In related news, other interesting developments have happened today: the website whatreallyhappened.com issued the following statement today:

"Yes, we were hacked. Starting just moments before President Obama announced the death of Osama bin Laden, our website was hit with what the hosting company described as a massive distributed denial of service attack, no doubt to prevent the public from accessing the documentation showing Bin Laden actually died in December of 2001 of natural causes."

Their news title reads "Osama bin Laden: A dead nemesis perpetuated by the US government."

Who's telling the truth and who is lying? We may never know for sure.

What we do know, is that Osama bin Laden has officially been no.1 on the world's most wanted list for over 10 years - a very, very long time for today's technology and capabilities... so you can't help but wonder - would the US Governemnt have had any interest in postponing this announcement for so many years?... I'll leave it as open question, although for many it's a rhetorical one.

Osama Bin Laden is dead

IT'S OFFICIAL:
Osama bin Laden, leader of al-Qaeda, mastermind of the September 11th terrorist attacks and the world’s most wanted man for almost a decade is dead, President Barack Obama announced in the early hours of the morning.

Osama bin Laden, the most wanted terrorist of all time, was killed in Pakistan by U.S. forces. The leader of AlQaeda has opposed capture and died in a shootout. Bin Laden was hiding in a building located 100 kilometers from Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, along with other family members, many of them killed or captured during the battle.

Drones intensely used by the USA in Libya and Pakistan

Suspected US Armed drones killed 25 Pakistanis on Friday after firing four missiles that hit a house used by al Qaeda and Taliban militants.

First pilotless planes have been reported in Misrata - Libya also on Friday. The first Predators were sent to Libya on Tuesday, but they had to be withdrawn due to bad weather conditions.

The United States using armed drones against Muammar Gaddafi's troops is good news for the rebels who hope to receive greater help in the future. Use of drones could limit the collateral damages during the NATO attacks because drones can stay unlimited periods of time in the airspace of the towns having the capacity of survey at lower altitudes, bringing high definition images of the enemy targets placed in defensive positions.

Military advisers to be deployed by France and Great Britain to Libya and Britain are supposed to teach rebels on how to use information provided by these drones in their attacks against Gaddafi troops. Sending advisers on the ground is questioned by Russia who considers the measure beyond the U.N. Security Council mandate to protect civilians.
