Yes,
its true. I have gone to a football game with the Al-Qaeda leader
and worlds most wanted man Osama Bin Laden.
Not that I knew it at the time. In
fact I only found out a few months back. It pains me to say it,
but Osama is actually an Arsenal fan.
The rumours in the papers said that
he was often to be seen on the terraces of the South stand in the
early 90's. Friends and collegues of Osama have been told about
how very proud the 6'5 Saudi was when he saw his beloved Arsenal
reach the final of the Cup Winners Cup final in 1994.

It was the night of 13/4/94 - Arsenal
vs Paris S.G. in the semi-final, second leg. We had won the first
leg 1-0 (Ian Wright scoring). I remember this game in particular
as the fans in the West stand (including myself) had to walk all
around the stadium as the stewards wouldn't let us walk past the
away fans entrance, which is right next to the home fans entrance.
I got in just in time to see Kevin Campbell get an early goal to
settle the tie.
Did I notice a very tall, Middle Eastern
gentlemen with a turban anywhere? No. Did any other Arsenal fans?
Probably. I wonder if the guy who sat behind him knew that the occupier
of the seat that he had been kicking for the duration of the game
now wants him and his children dead. Next time you see your son
kicking the seat infront, for the sake of the Western World, stop
him...
