German Intel: Osama Bin Laden Is Al Qaeda's Che Guevera

The Germans think that Osama bin Laden is al Qaeda's version of Che Guevera.
Bin Laden is believed to be hiding along the Afghan-Pakistan border -- a suspicion that Ernst Uhrlau, the head of the Federal Intelligence Service, underlined in an interview with the Bild daily.

"As a creative director and icon, he is still something like the Che Guevara of al Qaeda," Uhrlau was quoted as saying -- a reference to the Cuban revolutionary who became a popular symbol of rebellion worldwide.

"Bin Laden is certainly no longer personally planning any attacks," he added, according to the report. But "for the internal cohesion of the terror network, it is enough for very different groups to be able to invoke him."

Uhrlau said that, "as far as we know," bin Laden is still in the Afghan-Pakistani border region. "He apparently is with friendly tribes for whom a basic rule is irrevocable: one does not send a guest to his doom."
May bin Laden end up the same way. Che, the darling of the leftists around the world, was a brutal thug who murdered thousands and helped give rise to Castro's Cuba (before Castro sent him packing).

Bin Laden has caused tremendous damage throughout the world through his fellow Islamists who have imposed misery, misogyny, terrorism and bloodshed. And that doesn't even begin to touch on the war launched by the Islamists against the US.

It's also interesting that no one has seen him in a video in a good long while - as any recent propaganda releases by the terrorist group have provided nothing but an audio track to go along with photos.
