Police say they have detained an American armed with a pistol in northern Pakistan who claims to have been on a mission to kill Osama bin Laden.

Officer Mumtaz Ahmad Khan said the man was picked up in a forest in Chitral.

He says the 52-year-old from California was armed with a pistol, a dagger and a sword and was carrying night vision equipment.

The man has been identified as Gary Faulkner.

He was being questioned Tuesday by intelligence officers.

I'll take option 4 - bullshit.

They should let him go free. Who knows, he may actually find Osama.

I bet they don't find any.

I'll take option 3, stupid.

No-one's trying to kill Osama. They'd have to find another excuse to cover the illegal invasion of two sovereign states for their natural resources and geopolitical advantage if he turned up dead.

[Mental Trousers]

He's an American so I'd believe that he really is that stupid.

Just plain stupid:

your name's on a list somewhere.

the american guy needs dialysis. So does Osama. US Healthcare is in crisis. I think he was just going over for a suck on the sav of Osama's dialysis machine. presumably powered by a small boy pedalling a bicycle shouting "jihad" "jihad" "durka durka mohammed jihad"

I don't understand why they arrested him? He wasn't exactly going to find him was he? And then he would never be seen again anyway!
