Was posted to many newsgroups during the past two weeks.

Subject: Osama Found Hanged

Content:
Osama Bin Ladin was found hanged by two CNN journalists early Wedensday
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..

The URL points to a zip fil that contains a small backdoor/trojan in the
HackArmy family.
