Bin Laden believed dead: report
A newspaper has quoted an unconfirmed French secret service report as saying Saudi Arabia is convinced Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden died of typhoid in Pakistan last month.
The French regional newspaper, L'Est Republicain, has printed what it says is a copy of the report, dated September 21.
It says the report was shown to French President Jacques Chirac, Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin and France's Interior and Defence Ministers on the same day.
"According to a usually reliable source, the Saudi services are now convinced that Osama Bin Laden is dead," the document said.

I haven't seen news reports on this yet today, but weren't there some videos of Osama that were supposedly made a bit later than August 23rd? (And then shown around the Sept. 11th date?)
If typhoid has truly done him in, how ironic would that be?
And the timing of the release is interesting given George is hanging out with the leaders of Afghanistan and Pakistan this weekend....

Yup...just checked CNN.com. Apparently the last Osama video was 2004 and the last audio from him was June 30th, so the date could indeed make sense.PIA wrote:Quiet and Shy wrote:I haven't seen news reports on this yet today, but weren't there some videos of Osama that were supposedly made a bit later than August 23rd?

Even if he is dead, we're not gonna know about it unless we find him (which for all intesive purposes he could be buried or cremated). Other al-Qaeda leaders aren't gonna come right out and tell the world he's dead because they want to cast a shadow of doubt on us and make us believe he is still alive.CrznDnUS1 wrote:yes, i would like to see the body as well.ph4ever wrote:IMHO - no body no proof
Sometimes more than others,
we see who and what and where we are,
I'm just a one man band,
With my feet in the sand,
Tonight I just need my guitar
