Iran can prove Bin Laden was dead long before US raid – Iranian minister
Published: 10 May, 2011, 17:07

Iranian Intelligence Minister Heydar Moslehi claims that Osama Bin Laden died from an illness before the US raid on his compound in Abbottabad. Iran has documents to prove it, he said.

­"We have credible information that Bin Laden died some time ago of a disease," Moslehi said on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting on Sunday, as quoted by ISNA news agency.

"If the US military and intelligence apparatus have really arrested or killed Bin Laden, why don't they show him ? Why have they thrown his corpse into the sea?" Moslehi asked rhetorically, FARS news agency reports.

Moslehi labeled the US raid in Abbottabad as a “PR campaign”, created to divert the attention of its citizens from domestic problems, such as the “fragile” state of the US economy.

"We believe that what the US is seeking, by dictated media programs, to overshadow the recent awakening in the region through the release of such reports," ISNA quoted Moslehi as saying.

Bin Laden was killed on May 2 in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad, north of the capital Islamabad, during a special operation carried out by US Navy Seals. President Barack Obama announced the news in a special address to the nation.

The news of “justice having been done” sparked mass celebrations in the United States and then ignited a new wave of conspiracy theories after Washington refused to release Bin Laden’s postmortem photographs, claiming that they might instigate a new wave of radicalism.

1. They also say they have no gays or protesters.

:shrug:

[Richardo]

12. Perfect

:applause: + :patriot:

[Yo_Mama]

30. No living ones. n/t

[Laf.La.Dem.]

2. Some one will "prove" Bin Laden was NOT killed

We will have it both ways - a walking dead Bin Laden??

[Leopolds Ghost]

14. It'd make a great movie. Everything's better with zombie version!

Imagine if Seal Team 6 had had to take out Zombie bin Laden.

It'd be just like Castle Wolfenstein!



Instead of "just like 24", as CNN put it.

3. Glad to see Baghdad Bob has a new job. nt

[sufrommich]

4. They can also prove there was no Holocaust if I remember

correctly.

[TTUBatfan2008]

5. Ironic...

The Iranian government engages in constant censorship against their people (and against the rest of the world), but somehow they think they have the credibility to question the U.S. government's story? :rofl:

[drm604]

6. This has to be B.S.

It would have been insane for the U.S. to try to fake something like this. The risk of exposure, and the negative results of that exposure, would be to great.

[Old and In the Way]

9. I agree....way too much risk for any administration to fake this.

[Leopolds Ghost]

24. Agreed.

[SidDithers]

7. Ahahahaha...nt

Sid

[Old and In the Way]

8. So....why not just release the 'credible' evidence?

If they had it, why just announce they have it? Sounds like BS to me.

[blondeatlast]

Job security? nt

[Brother Buzz]

10. A conspiracy, so bin Laden's wife and son were accomplices?

[Volaris]

11. well, they ARE doing sorcery over there now, so I guess anythings possible...

[Leopolds Ghost]

19. Somewhere, high atop a tower in Tehran...

[Volaris]

32. thats awesome you get a gold star today lol

[hunter]

13. Sick! We killed the zombie Bin Laden.

That will make the video game even better!

[Leopolds Ghost]

15. Agh! Beat me to it!

[buddysmellgood]

16. Elvis is alive in Iran.

[maxrandb]

17. Moslehi definitely has a future as an American AM Radio Talk Show Host

or as a "serious" GOP Congressional candidate.

Funny how similar the statements coming from the murderous regime of Iran sounds to the statements of comng from today's GOP! "Why do they hate 'Murika?"

[Leopolds Ghost]

20. Most of the people saying this for 8 yrs were not on the right, but it doesnt make sense in light of

Recent events. It's other things that concern me, like where bin Laden was found, why capture was not considered, etc.

But apparently the 15 minute window wherein the mass media deemed it acceptable to talk about that is coming to a close.

[maxrandb]

23. True

I ordered a Gyro from a guy in Raliegh, NC that looked very familiar...hmmmmmmm

[Leopolds Ghost]

26. Did he look like the "young" or the "old, rhinestone encrusted" Osama? Hmmm

See, that's why they didn't release the photos. He was in terrible shape, like Elvis. I bet he died on the pot.

I mean, who wants to look at this?



Gaaaah! Old Axl Rose

Now that would have been a disreputable end.

[maxrandb]

31. It was the "Fat-I spent too much time watching female catfights"

Bin Laden.

But on a totally unrelated topic. Saw Roger Daltry in concert last winter. Does that guy ever age? Bet it pisses Pete off like crazy.

[LiberalFighter]

18. If Iran is correct (which I seriously doubt) then criticism of Obama

for killing bin Laden is unfounded.

[Leopolds Ghost]

21. Ah, but zombies are treated differently and they say he was dispatched in accordance w/Muslim rules

Everyone knows throwing zombies into the sea means they will just walk to shore.

[Arctic Dave]

22. Why doesn't both sides give evidence.

Strange that we have ZERO evidence either way except leaked stories from "no name guy" and a iranian dude no one even knows.

[dionysus]

25. and a subset of DU will buy this hook, line, and sinker....

[Arkansas Granny]

27. Wait, wait! Don't tell me! Have they found his death certificate?!?!?

[Courtesy Flush]

28. Regardless of when he died

We have reason to get out of Afghanistan.

[The Straight Story]

29. I trust Iran less than I do fox news (nt)

[kentuck]

33. Go ahead and prove it...

Nobody is holding you.

[hugo_from_TN]

34. This was pretty much the normal DU stance prior to the raid.

How quickly things change.

[Incitatus]

35. Then why didn't they do so years ago?

Why be quiet about it and allow the US to continue to use Bin Laden as a justification for our wars?
