Osama Found Hanged

Osama Bin Ladin was found hanged by two CNN journalists early Wedensday evening.

As evidence they took several photos, some of which i have included here.

As yet, this information has not hit the headlines due to Bush wanting confirmation of his identity but the journalists have released some early photos over the internet..

Turn on your TV.
Osama Bin Laden has been captured.

While CNN has no pictures at this point of time, the military channel (PPV) released some pictures.
I managed to capture a couple of these pictures off my TV.
Ive attached a slideshow containing all the pictures I managed to capture.
I apologize for the low quality, its the best I could do at this point of time.
Hopefully CNN will have pictures and a video soon.

God bless the USA!


Variations: In mid-2006 the "Osama" virus warnings were combined with the text of the (hoax) "Invitation" virus warning.

Origins: There are few headlines that would grab the attention of more computer users around the world than news of Osama bin Laden's having been captured or killed, so that's exactly the bait pranksters have used more than once in attempting to lure
unsuspecting victims users of Microsoft Windows platforms into installing malicious code onto their computers.

In July 2004 a message claiming to offer links to photographs of Osama Bin Laden's suicide was spammed to multiple newsgroups. The links actually tricked users into opening a file that installed the Backdoor.Hacarmy.D trojan horse.

[Emphasis added]

educate yourself about the meaning of "outdated" and "hoax", then come back and whine some more.
