iReport — American on mission to kill bin Laden arrested
AP - Tuesday, June 15, 2010 1:44:32 AM By RIAZ KHAN and MUNIR AHMED

An American armed with a pistol and a 40-inch sword was detained in northern Pakistan and told investigators he was on a solo mission to kill Osama bin Laden, a police officer said Tuesday.

The man was identified as 52-year-old Californian construction worker Gary Brooks Faulkner, said officer Mumtaz Ahmad Khan.

He was picked up in a forest in the Chitral region late on Sunday, he said.

"We initially laughed when he told us that he wanted to kill Osama bin Laden," said Khan. But he said when officers seized the pistol, the sword and night-vision equipment, "our suspicion grew."

He was questioned Tuesday by intelligence officials in Peshawar, the main northwestern city.

Faulkner told police he visited Pakistan seven times, and this was his third trip to Chitral.

Police alleged the American intended to travel to the eastern Afghan region of Nuristan, just across the border from Chitral.

The area is among several rumored hiding places for the al-Qaida leader, who has evaded a massive U.S. effort to capture him since 2001.

Bin Laden is accused of being behind the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States, as well other terrorist acts.

Khan said Faulkner was also carrying a book containing Christian verses and teachings.

When asked why he thought he had a chance of tracing bin Laden, Faulkner replied, "God is with me, and I am confident I will be successful in killing him," said Khan.

Faulkner arrived in the Chitrali town of Bumburate on June 3 and stayed in a hotel there.

He was assigned a police guard, as is quite common for foreigners visiting remote parts of Pakistan. When he checked out without informing police, officers began hunting for him, said Khan.

U.S. Embassy spokesman Richard Snelsire said the mission had received notification from Pakistani officials that an American citizen had been arrested.
He said embassy officials were trying to meet the man and confirm his identity.

Ahmed reported from Islamabad. Associated Press writer Gul Hamad Farooqui in Chitral contributed to this report.

This must be from season III, where they resurrected Mr. Tim Osmond for the final finale. Everyone knew he died in the beginning of season I, but they brought him back because of failed ratings....

Guy has guts for sure...as for intelligence, not so sure. I would not have the nerve to go to rural Pakistan and look for Osama solo.

$50 million is a huge motivator, it overrides common sense. Mix in a little fundy Christianity and you're good to go. lol

Bringing a sword to a gunfight. lol

Saw this on WhatReallyHappened.com:

Osama bin Laden: A dead nemesis perpetuated by the US government
http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/osama_dead.html

"Relinked because ABCNNBBCBS are waving Osama at us again, which means someone is considering a false flag attack to distract you from the crashing economy, collapsing bridges and coal mines, exploding oil wells, and the government's treasonous defense of a foreign nation that attacked Americans in international waters."
