MORE ARRESTS

James Joyner · Friday, March 7, 2003 · No comments

MORE ARRESTS: WaPo reports two of Bin Laden’s sons have been arrested and seven other al Qaeda terrorists have been killed by US and Pakistani forces in Afghanistan. It’s just a shame that the president has been distracted from the War on Terrorism by the Iraq crisis and that we have no allies. . .

OR MAYBE NOT? Literally as Blogger was sending that post, WaPo updated the story with a denial by US officials that bin Laden’s sons were arrested in the operation.
