Mission impossible? Not according to a Colorado man, whose primary aim is to track down al-Qaida leader, Osama Bin Laden.


Gary Faulkner, a 50-year-old construction worker from Greeley, says that his heroic quest drew in tremendous support from Americans, Pakistans and others from around the globe, in an interview on Monday's episode of CBS' 'Early Show.'

The hotel arrival report of U.S. national Gary Faulkner, who was recently detained in Pakistan while hunting al Qaeda head Osama bin Laden, is photographed at the lobby of the Ishpata Inn, in Brumboret Valley located in Chitral district June 17, 2010. Pakistan detained Faulkner armed with a dagger, a pistol and night vision goggles for allegedly trying to sneak into Afghanistan to hunt and kill al Qaeda head bin Laden, police said. The arrival report is common for foreigners staying in hotels across Pakistan and especially in remote locations. Photo: Reuters

Recently, Faulkner was arrested on June 13 when officials found him in the woods of Northern Pakistan armed with a sword and a pistol, plus night vision equipment. He confessed later that his mission was to kill the head of al-Quida.


Yet there was a slight change in plan, as the brave citizen disclosed that he wanted bin Laden alive instead, when brought to justice in the United States.


The Colorado native also gave special mention to the Pakistanis, who treated him with care, and even performed dialysis to treat his kidney disease.


President Obama, you've got yourself a potential for security personnel!
