Osama bin Laden captured?

From Northeast Intelligence Network.

I don't want to post something that might be entirely speculative but this would just be sooooo good if true.

(scroll down to this 28 March 2004 Who's in Control of Qaeda-al-Jihad? )

A HVT (High Value Target) of al Qaeda was scooped by special forces and removed from Iran. The sources would not identify the "target," but refused to deny that it was bin Laden. We were advised that other al Qaeda captures have been and would continue to take place, many from new information obtained from recently captured al Qaeda sources. Subsequently, a total of 5 independent sources were acquired who corroborated the information that Osama bin Laden was captured by US SOF on or about 20 January 2004 inside of the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The US SOF forces operating in that Aera of Operations (AO) is known as Task Force 121, or TF-121. On December 13, 2003 this same US Special Operations Forces unit captured Saddam Hussein in Iraq.

Why not announce the capture? Maybe some political, military, or intelligence reasons? Surely the terrorist "chatter" would give this one away. Interesting article anyway.
