Curt Weldon: Bin Laden is Dead Rep. Curt Weldon, who broke the Able Danger story last year revealing that military intelligence had identified lead hijacker Mohammed Atta as a terrorist threat before the 9/11 attacks, now says that Osama bin Laden has died. Weldon made the stunning claim during an interview Wednesday with the Philadelphia Inquirer, which reported: "Weldon is making explosive new allegations. He says a high-level source has told him that terrorist leader Osama bin Laden has died in Iran, where he has been in hiding." Weldon cited as his source an Iranian exile code-named Ali, telling the paper: "Ali's told me that Osama bin Laden is dead. He died in Iran." Weldon said he last spoke
to Ali three weeks ago. The Iranian exile was a prominent source for
his 2005 book, "Countdown to Terror." The book also contained
the first mention of the Able Danger data mining operation. In June last year, Weldon said in a TV interview: "I'm confident that I know for sure that [bin Laden] has been in and out of Iran . . . Two years ago, he was in the southern town of Ladis, ten kilometers inside the Pakistan border. I also know that earlier this year, he had a meeting with al-Zarqawi in Tehran . . . "If you look at the recent comments coming out of both the CIA and some of our military generals in theater, they're now acknowledging the same thing that I've been saying -- that in fact, he's been in and out of Iran. "[But] no one can prove it exactly until we capture him." --------------------------------------------------- Please help our fight against the New World Order by giving a donation.
