52 year old American Gary Brooks Faulkner was arrested today in Pakistan near the border with Afghanistan. Armed with a sword, Faulkner says he intended to behead Osama bin Laden and that he had been hunting him since 9/11.
Faulkner, who was visiting Pakistan on a tourist visa, is said to be in failing health and “wanted to do one last thing for his country before he died.” Faulkner’s sister says the man had visited Pakistan at least three times previously on similar expeditions and that he “comes from a family of hunters.”
Faulkner was also reported to be “extremely religious” and was said to be carrying Christian literature on him at the time. Little else is known about him, except that he reportedly did not plan to collect the $50 million bounty on bin Laden’s head if he had managed to sever it from his shoulders.
Arrests of would-be bin Laden hunters have been comparatively rare, with few willing to embark on such a dangerous venture. Previously another US citizen, Jonathan “Jack” Idema was arrested for running a private prison and torture centure in Kabul. Idema was said to be trying to get leads on bin Laden at the time.
This guy should have teamed up with Sam "Snap" Wilson.
Was he getting too close, so the CIA tipped off the Pakistanis?
Chuck Norris would never have been arrested in Pakistan. He would have arrested all the Pakistanis and Afghans and gotten Osama's head by now. Send in the Chuck!
Why Osama why not Busch who is a mass murderer in Irak and Afghanistan. So called 9/11 none of the terrorist was from Afghanistan Irak or Pakistan. All of them were so called Saudi nationals in which 6 are still living in Saudi Arabia five were dead at that time rest no body knpows what happened.
If we look back Nelson Mandela was a terrorist and Yasser Arafat both got nobel price for Peace. only terrorist Beginn got also noble price with Anwer Saddat. This is a world in which lie is no lie and truth has no place and I hope one if living Osama bin Laden and Mullah Umer will get noble price for peace
Faulkner is merely representative of an entire subset of US nut-jobs who have watched far too many movies and television shows.
Be funny if he did it after we've spent a trillion supposedly chasing after big bad OBL.
should have stayed here and beheaded Obama.
why do you even post such crap?
this is a story for the msm to distract from the billions in loot the neoliberals are trying to swindle.
he needs to do something useful, give him pictures of obama, bush 1 & 2, rumfilled, and shotgunface and a map of the US.
