New Bin Laden video rasies authenticity questions
Mikey 3 comments
A fake beard? It sure looks like one. But it is still believed this new video from Osama bin Laden is authentic. A CIA spokesman has told ABC News this could certainly be a new video from Bin Laden.
The curious part is a screen grab from the video shows Bin Laden with a full dark beard, which is quite different to his previous videos where his beard is predominately grey.
A former White House counter terrorism official said:
"It does look oddly like he is wearing a false beard...If we go back to the tape three years, he had a very white beard. This looks like a phony beard that has been passed on."
Full story at ABC News.
