Osama Found Hanged - ** VIRUS ALERT**

There is a new virus email hitting the internet that has something like "Osama Found Hanged" in the subject line. It has an attachment that can damage your computer if you open it. The news is bogus and only there to get you to open the attachment.

If you get something like the text below, DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY.

Osama Bin Ladin was found hanged by two CNN journalists early Wednesday evening.

As evidence they took several photos, some of which i have included here.

As yet, this information has not hit the headlines due to Bush wanting confirmation of his identity but the journalists have released some early photos over the internet..

Turn on your TV.
Osama Bin Laden has been captured.

While CNN has no pictures at this point of time, the military channel (PPV) released some pictures.
I managed to capture a couple of these pictures off my TV.
Ive attached a slideshow containing all the pictures I managed to capture.
I apologize for the low quality, its the best I could do at this point of time.
Hopefully CNN will have pictures and a video soon.

God bless the USA!
