Rumors in Pakistan held Kashmir points towards some massive losses for Al-Queda is Pakistan held Kashmir. Some international think tanks believe Osama Bin Laden hiding in the safe sanctuary of Pakistan held Kasmir may be killed by the massive quake.
However, no evidence suggests that the deadly earthquake that rocked Pakistan injured or killed the world’s top terror leader, Osama bin Laden.
The quake shook the border region of Afghanistan and Pakistan, where bin Laden is believed to be hiding. However, authorities at this point have no information indicating he’s been injured or killed, said a US official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the information’s sensitivity.
US hopes for bin Laden’s death or capture were high in December 2001, when US and afghan troops surrounded a cave complex sheltering al-Qaeda members in Afghanistan’s Tora Bora region. But bin laden escaped and is now believed to be living a relatively isolated existence to evade capture.

Unless AQ reported it themselves, no one would have any way of knowing if OBL was hurt.
This seems like silly speculation.
Its a terrible tragedy and sounds like entire villages/towns were wiped out. What few helicopters the US can muster to get over there will not have a significant impact on rescue efforts — which are winding down now anyway. Hopefully they can support some of the relief efforts.
How many people are left homeless as winter approaches?
So if the mullahs think Katrina was allah’s revenge on the evil US, I wonder how they are going to frame their explanation for this quake that centered right in the heart of the world’s highest concentration of terrorists.
Or perhaps Bush used his x-ray satellite earthquake machine? That sounds more likely…
The same x-ray satellite pinpointed Iraq’s WMD???
Exactly!
At least you admit it. ;-)
