Besides that, if they seriously think they know Bin Ladin's location, wouldn't it be a better idea not to tell every one?

ha ha i've made that same mistake numerous times :D the names are eerily similar. I remember my initial reaction when i first Heard about Obama was "The American public will never elect him with a name like that" boy was i wrong.

The sub-editor - or whoever it was - that didn't spot the mistake should get a bollocking, but nobody should lose their job for this.

Typos occur all the time, as us readers of The Grauniad can atesst. ;)

Anyways, far more interesting is the "terror hunt". I prefer irony hunts, myself.

He's rarely in the white house, so it is tricky to find the guy.

Please tell me you're kidding? I doubt it was intentional; an editor probably slipped up. I didn't even notice it right away.
