Via DailyIndia.com -

CHITRAL, Pakistan, April 30 (UPI) -- A man who looks like Osama bin Laden has now been arrested twice, with the latest arrest having taken place near Chitral, Pakistan.

Sher Akhbar of the Afghan village of Bach e Metal, reportedly looks like he could be bin Laden's twin, ABC News reported Monday.Akhbar was arrested after Pakistani intelligence officials reported Bin Laden had been active in the area."We arrested this man as a result of this investigation, but it's not who you might think it is," a senior Pakistani intelligence official told ABC News.


The official added that an investigation involving Pakistani and U.S. intelligence officers revealed Akhbar had no connection to bin Laden, but local residents tried to cash in on a $25 million reward based on Akhbar's resemblance to the terrorist leader.

The United States has an outstanding offer of a $25 million reward for information leading to bin Laden's arrest.
