IMF Head Arrested At JFK, Accused Of Sexual Attack On Hotel Maid

Image
Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the head of the International Monetary Fund, was taken off an Air France plane about to leave JFK Airport and arrested for allegedly attacking a hotel maid at the Sofitel in Times Square. Sources tell the Daily News and NY Post that earlier in the day, Strauss-Kahn allegedly emerged from a bathroom naked, crept up on the maid and forced her to perform oral sex on him. The maid somehow left the room—the News said she fled while the Post says she was allowed to leave—and Strauss-Kahn, a French politician, continued his plans and headed to JFK for his flight to Paris. The plane was 10 minutes from takeoff when Port Authority police officers took Strauss-Kahn from the first class cabin and turned over to NYPD. Strauss-Kahn, 62, is a member of the Socialist Party and has been eyed to challenge President Nicolas Sarkozy in the 2012 election.

Specifically, the officials said they did not know if bin Laden himself had acquired or viewed the materials. Reports from Abbottabad have said that bin Laden's compound was cut off from the Internet or other hard-wired communications networks. It is unclear how compound residents would have acquired the pornography. But a video released by the Obama administration confiscated from the compound showed bin Lad

The U.S. government has released some details about the operation that culminated in an intense 40 minute fire fight that claimed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden's life . While it's not as over-the-top as the Taiwanese CGI , it's certainly dramatic: Politico reports , "The helicopter carrying Navy SEALs malfunctioned as it approached Osama bin Laden’s compound at about 3:30 p.m. ET Sunday, stalling as it hovered. The pilot set it down gently inside the walls, then couldn’t get it going again. It was a heart-stopping moment for President Barack Obama, who had been monitoring the raid in the White House Situation Room since 1 p.m., surrounded by members of his war cabinet. 'Obviously, everyone was thinking about Black Hawk Down and Desert One,' a senior administration official recalled." The SEALS were able to disembark, but Politico's source said, "The assault team went ahead and raided the compound, even though they didn’t know if the
