Bin Laden Audiotape A Fake? The Associated Press (via Drudge) reports that a Swiss research lab has concluded that the voice on a recently released Al Qaeda audiotape is not that of Osama bin Laden:
"Lausanne-based Dalle Molle Institute for Perceptual Artificial Intelligence said it is 95-per-cent certain the tape does not feature the voice of the long-absent terrorist leader . . . the institute compared the voice on the tape, first aired two weeks ago on Al-Jazeera, an Arabic television network, with some 20 earlier recordings of bin Laden."
As is noted in
the November 18 Broadsides post, another blogger reported that an Egyptian political scientist who interviewed bin Laden was certain that the voice on the audiotape was not his. Now there is scientific analysis to back her up.
The question is, how did U.S. intelligence officials reach the
opposite conclusion?
