Where's Osama Bin Laden? Chillin' in Iran, apparently.

[quote]THE world's most wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden, has been living a relaxed and comfortable existence in an apartment in Iran since at least 2003, according to a new documentary.
The al-Qaeda leader is healthy, surrounded by his wife and a few of his children and has only four bodyguards in Tehran, where he is living under the protection of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, according to the documentary Feathered Cocaine, FOXNews.com reported.
It presents a very different picture to the one the world is most familiar with since bin Laden disappeared in 2001 - that of the terrorist living in a damp cave in northern Pakistan.
Alan Parrot, the film's subject and one of the world's foremost falconers, makes the case that bin Laden, an avid falcon hunter is pursuing the sport relatively freely in Tehran.

Parrot, who was once the chief falconer for the Shah of Iran and who has worked for the royal families of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, used his contacts in Iran to talk about bin Laden's life there. One of those contacts, described as a warlord from the north of Iran and disguised in a balaclava, reveals in the film that he has met bin Laden six times on hunting trips inside Iran since March 2003.
He says the world's most wanted terrorist is relaxed and healthy and so comfortable that “he travels with only four bodyguards.”
Parrot told FOXNews.com that the warlord, who supplies the falcon camps bin Laden visits on hunting forays, agreed to talk only because one of Parrot's men had saved his life.
"This was the repayment," Parrot said. "He was asked to talk. He wasn’t happy about it.”
The last confirmed meeting between bin Laden and the warlord was in 2008, Parrot says.
“There may have been more since then, but I haven’t talked to my source since we left Iran,” he said.
To prove his case, Parrot says he managed to get telemetry settings for bin Laden's falcons and could locate the leader to a one-square-mile area using those unique signals. He provided the data to the US Government but says he was never contacted about it.
Major Sean Turner, a Pentagon spokesman, said the US military would not comment on the whereabouts of bin Laden.
Parrot's story is supported in the documentary by former CIA agent Robert Baer, an outspoken critic of US policy in the Middle East on whom the film Syriana is based.[/quote]

BREAKING NEWS! There have been reports of fake breaking news stories all around the internet, stay in your homes until this problem is dealt with by the authorities. And only rely on the best sources of news such as Fox News.
They seem to have forgotten about Yemen or whatever country was in the news a while ago.
No he's about 6 feet under, and probably completely decomposed by now.

It seems the U.S ain't really interested anymore because Osama is already out of the major news for a while and they've already got the Patriot Act in place anyway.
If they initiate a war with Iran over him, the "victory and subsequent revenge" will no more be just bittersweet, it'll be sour as fuck and taste like shitcovered boots.
This is just a tip for bounty hunters and mercenaries. There is about a $25 million reward for getting him, it's not hard to take out 4 guards and get a massive payday.
"hey guys we need to invade iran, israel keeps telling us to"
just say osama's there, perfect excuse
BRILLIANT!"
seriously, if you think this is anything except some lame justification to start ANOTHER unjustified war to help Israel, then you must be pretty stupid.

If you think this is anything other than an unreliable and completely stupid story, that's pretty stupid too. If the US had confirmation that Osama was in Iran and really wanted him, they have plenty of special ops who are used to invading countries without anyone knowing. In reality, no-one cares where he is and no-one is going to go after him.

Proof?
What the fuck.
Mr. Laden is with his family. That means he is not really leading the terrorists. Thus no problem for the rest of the world. Unless his wife and four sons are terrorists...
To all the people who are saying it is bullshit to invade Iran:
If we do, the civilians will help whoever does.
Remember those riots that happened last August? They are still going on.

you're forgetting us over in Europe who are getting REAL tired of killing anything the scared teenage goth princess points at. this war on terror thing is getting REAL OLD!
if he's there, with his family and there's no hints of him being active anymore. then i can't care much about it, tough luck. sometimes i wish communication was just as restricted as before the telegraph. it's retardingly stupid that our country is having casualties of war over some american war of revenge on peasants and civillians. they may just call them all terrorists, but that's as true as all americans are fat. (=in some cases). had we not had the communication or had the balls, we'd be able to say "screw you, we've been running hot in your heels shooting and raping at your command, now it's done. ruin the world alone, bye."

Where the hell did you hear that?
If we invaded Iran, those same rioters would be fighting us.
The government has been pushing the US as the Great Satan, saying that Iran needs to be kept free from foreign influence; an invasion would only add to their propaganda machine.
Perhaps you've forgotten about Mohammad Mossadegh?

TL;DR: CIA overthrows Iran's first democratically-elected leader, puts the Shah in power, doesn't realize that everyone hates the Shah, 26 years later ISLAMIC REVOLUTION OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE.
Well, I guess we could take a break for searching Osama Bin Laden.

Do you realise that the number of people who support the Iranian government outnumber the people who don't?
Of course you don't.

Holy shit, he hunts falcons.
Sure I hate the guy and I think he should be caught, but I'll never get to do something like that in my entire life. Still have -1000 respect for him though.

Although you have to admit, he did a really good job of laying low. I imagined him to be hiding underground or some shit and gets supplies sent to him, but he was just living in a fucking apartment.
That's a giant slap in the face.

So let me see if I have this right. Parrot is only repeating what someone else said? I wouldn't listen to him if I were you.

Yeah good luck getting your white ass into Iran unnoticed with a gun.
Fuck we need more investigation into this
