PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) -- Police say an American who claims to have been on a mission to kill Osama bin Laden has been detained in northern Pakistan.

Police say 52-year-old California construction worker Gary Brooks Faulkner was armed with a pistol, a dagger and a sword and was carrying night vision equipment. Police say the man intended to cross into Afghanistan. snip

Police say Faulkner was also carrying a book containing Christian verses and teachings.

He told police, "God is with me, and I am confident I will be successful in killing him."

That's a future News Of The Weird item there along with a Darwin nomination.
There ain't no cure for that kind of stupid.
