OSAMA'S BEEN WORM FOOD: The
Times of London reports that al-Qaeda thug Khalid Sheikh Mohammed "seems to have betrayed al-Qaeda’s most potent secret: its charismatic leader is dead." In what the Times describes as a slip of the tongue, Khalid referred to bin Laden in the past tense during an interview for the al-Jazeera satellite network. The interview was "a propaganda exercise organised by al-Qaeda in time for the first anniversary of September 11" and featured Khalid bragging about the operational details of the September attacks on America.
The al-Jazeera reporter, who on previous occasions interviewed bin Laden, strongly suspects that "Al-Qaeda’s decision to bring a reporter from al-Jazeera to meet two of bin Laden’s generals rather than the man himself adds to the impression that their leader may be no more."
