Amal Ahmed Abdel-Fatah Al Sada, Osama Bin Laden Widow, Reveals New Details On Al Qaeda Leader's Life On The Run

2012-03-30T23:44:00.001-07:00

ISLAMABAD -- Osama bin Laden lived in five safe houses while on the run in Pakistan and fathered four children – two of them born in government hospitals, his youngest widow has told investigators.

The details of bin Laden's life as a fugitive in Pakistan are contained in the interrogation report of Amal Ahmed Abdel-Fatah al-Sada, bin Laden's 30-year-old Yemeni widow.

They appear to raise fresh questions over how bin Laden was able to remain undetected for so long in Pakistan after the Sept.

11, 2001 attacks, despite being the subject of a massive international manhunt.

Details from the report were first published by the Pakistani newspaper Dawn.
The Associated Press obtained a copy on Friday.

Al-Sada is currently in Pakistani custody, along with bin Laden's two other wives and several children.

They were arrested after the U.S raid that killed bin Laden in May in his final hideout in the Pakistani army town of Abbottabad. The U.S. Navy SEALs shot her in the leg during the operation.

Mohammed Amir Khalil, a lawyer for the three widows, said the women would be formally charged for illegally staying in Pakistan on April 2. That charge carries a maximum five-year prison sentence.

Since the raid that killed bin Laden, it has been known that he lived mostly in Pakistan since 2002.

Al-Sada's account says she flew to Pakistan in 2000 and traveled to Afghanistan where she married bin Laden before the Sept. 11 attacks.

After that, the family "scattered" and she traveled to Karachi in Pakistan. She later met up with bin Laden in Peshawar and then moved to the Swat Valley, where they lived in two houses. They moved one more time before settling in Abbottabad in 2005.

According to the report, al-Sada said that two of her children were born in government hospitals, but that she stayed only "two or three hours" in the clinics on both occasions. The charge sheet against the three women says that they gave officials fake identities.

During the manhunt for bin Laden, most U.S. and Pakistani officials said that bin Laden was likely living somewhere along the remote Afghanistan-Pakistan border, possibly in a cave.

The fact he was living in populated parts of Pakistan raised suspicions elements in the Pakistani security forces may have been hiding him. U.S. officials have said they have found no evidence this was the case.

'Napoleon': Silent Film To Screen At The Paramount Theater in Oakland

2012-03-21T01:58:00.003-07:00

It appears everyone is attempting to cash in on the silent film craze.

After "The Artist" took home the Academy Award for Best Picture at the Oscars, the San Francisco Silent Film Festival plans on doing something a little different at this year's event: screen the 1927 epic, "Napoleon."

However, as the Los Angeles Times states, the movie won't be played in San Francisco. Due to the film's widescreen format -- known as Polyvision -- the event will instead take place across the bridge, at the Paramount Theater in Oakland.

On top of the lengthy five-and-a-half-hour runtime, ticket prices will range from $45 to $120. Each of the four screenings -- to be held on March 24, 25 and 31, and April 1 -- will have three intermissions, including a dinner break.

Clocking in at an astounding five-and-a-half hours, "Napoleon" tells the story of the early years of the legendary French military leader. The last successful screening took place at Radio City Music Hall in 1981.

Tickets to the "Napoleon" screening and the 17th Annual San Francisco Silent Film Festival -- if you're into these sorts of things -- can be purchased here.

Consumer Reports Finds Trove Of Unhappy Karma Owners

2012-03-21T01:23:00.000-07:00

Consumer Reports' relationship with the Fisker Karma had a rocky start: The pricey plug-in hybrid died with only 200 miles on the odometer.

After 48 hours in the repair shop, however, the venerable publication has been testing out the $108,000 green machine and has released some interesting -- and disappointing -- insights.

CR maintains that the design of the car is "simply stunning," but the praise essentially stops there. The range-extending gasoline engine gets very loud when the 22-kWh battery is depleted.

And the Fisker's SUV-like 5,395-pound weight doesn't help with handling. On the inside, CR says the touchscreen is also less than ideal, with a grayscale look and plenty of menu flipping that "makes MyFord Touch (which CR has roundly criticized) look like a brilliant design."

Perhaps the most damning part of the report, however, is the actual owner complaints that have been uncovered, many of which were posted to Fisker news site, FiskerBuzz.com.

According to posts on the site, Karma owners have been suffering from some pretty serious problems. Things like needing a new differential after less than 1,000 miles, a car shutting itself off at 35 mph and lots of trouble with the shifter.

One owner wrote the following:

"Just this weekend, for example, the speedometer and energy meter display disappeared when driving, on top of having several other rogue warning indicators appear last week. It is expected we'll be revisiting the dealership soon. We've had cars in the past that have been troublesome, but never anything like this."

This is an inauspicious start for the company, which has received Department of Energy loans, and is expected to launch a lower-priced model built at a Delaware manufacturing plant.

Fisker suffers from the growing pains that most start-up car companies endure. "There are fewer enterprises more complicated and more fraught than putting a reliable, government-approved automobile on the road," says AOL Autos Editor-in-Chief David Kiley.

"I am not sure there is a bright future for small start-up car companies; not when the established,
well-resourced companies from Audi to Ford, Nissan, GM, Toyota and virtually every car company today is innovating really top-drawer electrics and hybrids and with established dealer networks," said Kiley.

Ioana Hociota, Grand Canyon Bride, Killed In 300-Foot Fall

2012-03-21T01:17:00.001-07:00

The storybook romance of an Arizona couple who was wed at the Grand Canyon recently ended in tragedy, when the gorge -- one of the seven natural wonders of the world -- claimed one of their lives.

According to the National Park Service, Ioana Hociota, 24, of Tempe, was hiking with friend Matthia Kawski near the South Rim of the Grand Canyon on Feb. 25, when she suddenly cried out.

"The blood froze in my veins," Kawski told KPBS. "It was a few seconds later that I heard a dull thump. I ran back to the saddle calling for her. There was incredible silence."

Hociota had apparently lost her footing while trekking up an unmarked trail and fell about 300 feet to a rock ledge below.

"She was a good hiker, not careless, not reckless," Hociota's husband, Andrew Holycross, told The Republic.

"She didn't take chances. She was on a path I would have taken."

Sierra LaMar Missing: Police Searching High School Student's Cellphone Records

2012-03-21T01:13:00.000-07:00

California police are searching the cellphone records of Sierra LaMar, a high school student last seen when she left home on Friday morning.

The phone turned up on the side of the road near Sierra's home, but cops admitted they've found little other evidence related to her disappearance.

The sophomore was last seen around 6 a.m. when she left home for classes.

The bus driver handling the route where she usually got picked up said he didn't see her, according to Fox News. Police dogs sniffing for her scent couldn't find it any farther from her home than the end of her driveway, Fox reported.

Her mother learned the teenager was missing when she got a message from the school's automated attendance system at 6 p.m.

To help with the search, police deployed a helicopter over the weekend, but there wasn't much payoff from the air power.

LaMar is 5-feet-2-inches tall and was carrying a black-and-pink Juicy bag when she vanished.

Cops are going through the former cheerleader's cellphone records and laptop for clues, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Jose Cardoza said, according to the San Jose Mercury News. Her Facebook and

Twitter accounts are of interest, because a runaway teen might reveal or hint at their plans.

Her parents don't think their daughter ran away, but police were exploring that possibility.

There's no sign yet of foul play, so police are treating this as a missing person case, ABC News reported.

But still, police widened their investigation. On Monday, they announced they'd interview known sex offenders living in the area, according to the Morgan Hill Times.

LaMar's parents are divorced, but police told ABC that her father and mother have been cooperative.

LaMar lives with her mom, while her dad lives in Fremont. LaMar lived in Fremont and was a cheerleader there, before she moved to Morgan Hill in October.

Anyone with information about her whereabouts can call the Sheriff's Office at 408-299-2311 or 408-808-4500, or the anonymous tip line at 408-808-4431.

Mike Stone, Minnesota Teen, Asks Porn Stars To Prom Via Twitter

2012-03-21T01:09:00.001-07:00

This prom season, Minnesota student Mike Stone is on a mission to bring a special lady to his high school dance: a porn star.
WARNING: SOME CONTENT MIGHT NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL AGES

The situation might call to mind scenes from the 2004 movie "The Girl Next Door," in which three teens take porn stars to prom as part of a plan to film a modern sex-ed video.

But it seems this Minnesota student just wants to stand out on his special day.

In an interview with the Daily Dot, Stone said many of the girls he asked to prom were already going with someone else. So, he took a different route and hopped on Twitter to contact some adult film stars.

After nearly 600 Tweets, at least two porn stars have offered to take Stone up on his offer.
Megan Piper, who never made it to her senior prom, said she'd be willing to attend the dance as long as Stone took care of the travel costs from Los Angeles.

"If you can get me there, then yes :)," she tweeted.

And adult film star Emy Reyes was honored by Stone's proposal and responded by saying, "Awww that's reappear [sic] hun and i would love tooo."

Now, the teen's next mission is to raise about $400 to buy his possible date -- who, as of late Tuesday afternoon, appears to be Megan Piper -- a plane ticket to Minnesota for the big night on May 12.
Piper said she's excited about the possibility of attending the dance with Stone.

"I thought it was really cute, and I thought it would make his night by saying 'yes'," she told The Huffington Post.

The 19-year-old moved from Georgia to Kansas during her senior year of high school and couldn't attend her own prom. She even had a navy dress with a corset top picked out for the occasion.

"It was so cute," she recalled. However, if she does fly to Minnesota, Piper says she's using the opportunity to shop for a new gown.

When asked about the possibility of Emy Reyes attending the dance, Piper said she was open to sharing the spotlight with her friend.

"If she decided she wanted to go, too, that would be really cool," Piper said.

As of a couple of hours ago, Stone, who says he's 18, did not have a PayPal account set up to receive donations, but that might soon change with the amount of exposure he's been getting.

However, the teen's special date might very well be a surprise to his parents and principal, who reportedly have no clue what Stone has been planning, the Daily Dot reports.

As for Piper, the adult film star isn't keeping her boyfriend in the dark about her potential date.

"He knows I love him so he doesn't mind," she said.

Regardless of how Stone's plan pans out, he now joins the ranks of several teens who have taken extraordinary measures to secure a date to prom.

Much like Stone, 18-year-old Kevin McGuire used social media to secure a date with Taylor Swift. And although the songstress won't be able to attend McGuire's prom, she invited him to the Academy of Country Music Awards as her date.

Brady McHale, on the other hand, took advantage of his position as volunteer firefighter and executed his prom proposal atop a ladder truck positioned outside of his high school's windows.
Ashley Shay decided to take a more public route, pitching her prom proposal on a local billboard.

Mitt Romney's Illinois Primary Win Another Missed Opportunity For Rick Santorum

2012-03-21T01:03:00.000-07:00

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. -- The "act of God" that Mitt Romney's campaign says Rick Santorum needs to win the Republican nomination is moving from healing status to that of resurrecting the dead.

Romney won the Illinois Republican primary Tuesday night, claiming a majority of the state's 69 delegates and moving closer to his party's nomination.

Romney's victory was another setback -- and huge missed opportunity -- for Santorum, a former senator from Pennsylvania who has repeatedly been unable to defeat Romney in large industrial Northern states with big urban centers.

Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, turned Santorum back in Michigan and Ohio over the past month. And in Illinois, Romney did it again. Romney led Santorum 46.7 percent to 35 percent, with 99 percent of the vote counted.

The Associated Press count of delegates won gave Romney 43 and Santorum 10, with one delegate up in the air -- a stinging loss for Santorum.

Romney's win kept Santorum away from a major win after the former senator's surprise victories in Mississippi and Alabama a week ago.

As he has throughout the entire primary fight, Romney enjoyed a massive advertising advantage. Santorum and a super PAC supporting him, The Red White And Blue Fund, were outspent by Romney and the pro-Romney super PAC, Restore Our Future, by about $3.7 million to roughly $530,000, according to Politico.

Santorum's inability to win a major showdown in Northern states has previously been a momentum-stopper. His Illinois loss may be more than that.

He continues to lag behind Romney in delegates. But more importantly, the potential for him to catch fire as the unquestioned conservative alternative to Romney -- with the full support of the GOP's grassroots -- seems to be slipping out of reach.

Although Illinois would have been a tough state for Santorum no matter what, his failure to capitalize on the wins in Mississippi and Alabama was due to his own lack of message discipline.

It has now become an established pattern for Santorum to shoot himself in the foot in the days leading up to a big primary contest.

In the days following his Southern wins, Santorum made waves with comments about the Obama administration's lack of enforcement of laws concerning pornography. And then Monday, he made two gaffes regarding the economy.

"The issue in this race is not the economy," Santorum said in Rockford Monday morning.

Then in Moline, Santorum said, "I don't care what the unemployment rate is going to be. It doesn't matter to me.

My campaign doesn't hinge on unemployment rates and growth rates. There's something more foundational that's going on here."

Romney put an exclamation mark on his night by giving one of the stronger speeches of his candidacy, expanding on the theme of "economic freedom" that he spoke about Monday.

"So tonight is a primary, but November is a general election, and we're going to face a defining decision as a people.

Our choice will not be about party or even personality. This election will be about principle. Our economic freedom will be on the ballot," Romney said.

Romney accused President Barack Obama of waging "an all-out assault on our freedom" through government intrusion into the public sector, environmental restrictions, and other government regulations.

But there were still red flags for the former Massachusetts governor. Exit polls showed that about 53 percent of those who voted for Romney said they had "reservations" about their candidate.

As for Santorum, his campaign aides argued Tuesday that they are not trailing Romney in the race for 1,144 delegates by as much as most estimates by media outlets -- and the Romney campaign -– say. The 1,144 mark is the number of delegates needed to clinch the nomination.

The Associated Press estimate of delegates, for example, gives Romney 522 to Santorum's 253 at this point. But the Santorum campaign has taken issue with those numbers, arguing that their count has Romney at 435 and Santorum at 311.

"Romney's treating it as a foregone conclusion, and he's putting delegates in his count that aren't theirs, he's taking delegates away from other people that he can't take away," said Santorum's spokesman, Hogan Gidley, on an hour-long conference call with reporters.

The Santorum argument is that many of the caucus states that have voted so far, including Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado, Missouri and Washington, have rules that mean their delegates are awarded based on which campaign can get the most supporters to the state convention. Convention attendees vote on delegates to the national convention.

Santorum's delegate counter, John Yob, said that the campaign and that of Ron Paul are showing strength in the process of pushing their people through the state convention process.

But when asked to provide a list, for example, of which state convention delegates in Iowa are supporting them, Yob declined.

"It certainly wouldn't be wise for us to release our identification data to the Romney campaign for them to be able to have our information," Yob said. "We believe we will get a vast majority of the delegates in Iowa. That's as far as we're going right now."

Without evidence, the Santorum claim is just words. But it allows the campaign to manage perceptions of how far behind Romney Santorum is, to keep him in the race.

"I understand what Santorum is doing what he's doing, because I do think his biggest risk is getting to the point where it's mathematically impossible for him to win the nomination," said a nationally known

Republican operative, who did not want to be quoted by name talking about the presidential race with the primary still undecided.

"At that point I think a lot of Republicans will say, 'Well he can't win, and as much as I like him and he resonates with me, let's get this over with.'"

In Illinois, Santorum was only eligible to win 44 of the 54 delegates up for grabs on Tuesday, because his campaign had failed to field a full slate of delegates in every congressional district.

The state's remaining 15 delegates to the national convention in Tampa in August will be voted on by delegates to Illinois' state convention in June.

Santorum is certainly the choice of the evangelical vote and many "values voters." But the continued presence in the race of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) and Santorum's failure to score a major upset over Romney has kept him from building a significant national wave of momentum.

This primary has been unpredictable, and it's possible that wave could still materialize. But Santorum is running out of opportunities and time to catch it.

He spent election night in his home state of Pennsylvania, looking ahead to the primary there that is on April 24, still over a month away.

He is forecast to win Pennsylvania, but that looks less likely to be a cakewalk than it did a week or two ago. More immediately, Santorum expects to win Louisiana's primary this coming Saturday.

But he may lose all three contests on April 3 -- Maryland, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia -- as well as the four other contests on April 24.

Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware all hold primaries that day.

The Romney campaign's argument -- that Santorum is too far behind in delegates to catch up -- will gain weight if Santorum suffers a series of losses in early April and then at the end of the month.

However, May is much more friendly for Santorum. If he could survive through April, he could be rejuvenated with a series of wins, starting on May 8 in Indiana, North Carolina and West Virginia. Nebraska and Oregon hold primaries on May 15, and then there are two more Southern states on May 15: Arkansas and Kentucky.

Texas, a motherlode of delegates with 155, holds its primary on May 29.

If Santorum's aim is simply to keep Romney from reaching the magic number of 1,144 delegates, May could be the month that keeps him in the game.

But playing the role of spoiler is not a very inspirational one. Whatever visions Santorum may have of making it to the GOP convention in Tampa may well be deflated by the backlash that hits him if it becomes clear that his only plan is to stop Romney.

Santorum, asked by The Huffington Post Monday about the prospect of getting out of the race, laughed off the suggestion.

"Did I give anybody the impression that I was getting out of this race anytime soon?" he said in a short press conference with a handful of reporters.

"I'm not too sure you guys are quite getting the flow of this yet. Hang in there with us. We'll be around for a while."

Tim Tebow may be traded to New York Jets or Jacksonville Jaguars as early as Wednesday

2012-03-21T00:54:00.003-07:00

If Tim Tebow is indeed on the trading block, the New York Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars reportedly are set to move quickly to make a deal for him.

Orlando television station WKMG, citing a source close to Tebow, reported late Tuesday night that the Denver Broncos are expected to trade the quarterback to one of those teams as early as midday Wednesday.

Denver would receive a third-round draft pick in exchange, according to the report.

WKMG reported that new Jaguars owner Shahid Khan conducted trade negotiations with the Broncos and Tebow's representatives Tuesday night and that talks are expected to resume Wednesday.

The Florida Times-Union reported that the Jaguars have held internal discussions about acquiring Tebow but had not entered formal talks with the Broncos as of Tuesday afternoon.

The Jets' possible interest in Tebow was made known earlier in the evening. A team source told the New York Daily News that the Jets “are players in the Tim Tebow race”.

The New York Post reported that the Jets see Tebow as someone who can help repair divisions among players.

Earlier reports said the Jets, Jaguars, Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins and one unidentified team had expressed interest in trading for Tebow.

Tebow’s future has been in question since Monday, when Peyton Manning and the Broncos began work on a five-year deal—the former Colts quarterback officially signed Tuesday. ESPN reported that with Manning in the fold, the Broncos would trade the polarizing Tebow.

The Daily News' report again draws into question just how comfortable the Jets feel at quarterback.

The team expressed interest in visiting with Manning when he was making the rounds as a free agent. After pulling out of the Manning race, the Jets quickly gave incumbent QB Mark Sanchez a five-year, $58.5 million extension—a deal in which the guaranteed money is significantly front-loaded.

Moreover, New York has already signed Drew Stanton to presumably be Sanchez’s backup, and Greg McElroy is the third quarterback.

General manager Mike Tannenbaum said he “feels good about” the Jets’ quarterbacks in an earlier conference call with reporters.
“You never know if other opportunities present themselves,” Tannenbaum added, according to the Daily News.

“We’ll always look at it. The standard line there. We feel good about Greg and Drew and Mark. … And we’ll see where we go from there.”

The Daily News pontificates that new offensive coordinator Tony Sparano, who successfully ran the Wildcat offense in Miami, could use a player like Tebow to draw up unique packages.

But while the Jets have reportedly had serious internal discussions about Tebow, at least one player thinks the Jets are best off staying put.

KU Spirit Squad Lifts Car, Saves Man Trapped Underneath

2012-03-21T00:48:00.002-07:00

Moments before heading to an NCAA tournament on March 18, members of the University of Kansas spirit squad heard someone cry out for help.

Members from the band and cheer squad then walked to a nearby parking lot where they found a man trapped underneath a car, according to a press release from the university.

The man was apparently working on the car when the jack fell out of place, partially pinning him underneath the vehicle.

“It took us a second to realize what was going on, so a few of us realized, there is a car on top of a guy,” Alex O'Nelio, a senior squad member, told the University Daily Kansan.

The squad members worked together to lift the vehicle, until the man was able to free himself. The victim was reportedly a bit bloody and disoriented, but otherwise in good condition, according to the release.

Squad coordinator Cat Jarzemkoski said she's proud of how her students handled the situation.

“They just dropped everything. They didn’t panic,” Jarzemkoski told the Lawrence Journal-World.

The unexpected rescue wasn't the only victory of the night. The Jayhawks women's basketball team clinched a 57-49 win against Nebraska, marking the first NCAA Tournament coup against the team since 1999, according to the University Daily Kansan. The team is set to play the University of Delaware on Tuesday, March 20.

Exxon Valdez Sold For Scrap Decades Later For $16 Million

2012-03-21T00:39:00.000-07:00

More than 20 years later, a ship best known for causing an environmental catastrophe is finally being put to rest.

The Exxon Valdez, which spilled 11 million gallons of oil into Alaska's Prince William Sound in 1989, is being bought for $16 million by Global Systems Marketing Inc., a firm that purchases ships for demolition, Bloomberg reports.

The vessel, now known as the Oriental Nicety, has changed names and owners four times since the infamous disaster.

At the time, the Exxon Valdez spill was the largest in U.S. history and resulted in Exxon having to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to avoid criminal prosecution, as well as to resolve civil claims made by federal and state governments, according to the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Office.

In addition, the company paid nearly $4 billion in cleanup costs.

Still, Exxon avoided a larger punishment. In 1994, an Anchorage jury awarded victims of the spill $5 billion, but after a 15-year legal battle the case made it to the U.S. Supreme Court where the justices awarded the victims just $507 million, according to CBS.

The long and protracted legal battle waged by victims may have helped shaped the decision by fishermen affected by the Deepwater Horizon spill in 2010 -- now the largest in U.S. history -- to settle quickly with BP, according to the Christian Science Monitor.

A group of fishermen agreed earlier this month to drop litigation against BP in exchange for a $7.8 billion payout.

The Exxon Valdez spill cost tens of thousands of people who depended on fishing for a living a total of $300 million, according to the Center for American Progress. In addition, tourism in southwest Alaska plunged 35 percent in the year immediately following the spill.

But Exxon still managed to take home billions of dollars in the spill’s aftermath and today is currently in a back-and-forth battle with Apple for the title of most valuable company in the world.
