Osama bin Laden dead (?)

French paper says bin Laden died in Pakistan
Sat Sep 23, 2006 8:54 AM BST

PARIS (Reuters) - A French regional newspaper quoted a French secret service report on Saturday as saying that Saudi Arabia is convinced that al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden died of typhoid in Pakistan last month.

L'Est Republicain printed what it said was a copy of the report dated September 21 and said it was shown to 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.

"The information gathered by the Saudis indicates that the head of al Qaeda was a victim while he was in Pakistan on August 23, 2006, of a very serious case of typhoid which led to a partial paralysis of his internal organs."

The report, which was stamped with a "confidential defence" label and the initials of the French secret service, said Saudi Arabia first heard the information on September 4 and that it was waiting for more details before making an official announcement.

Officials contacted by Reuters in Chirac's and Villepin's offices had no immediate comment.

A senior official in Pakistan's interior ministry said: "We have no information about Osama's death."

Saudi-born Bin Laden was based in Afghanistan until the Taliban government there was overthrown by U.S.-backed forces in late 2001. Since then, U.S. and Pakistani officials have regularly said they believe he is hiding somewhere on the rugged border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The last videotaped message released by bin Laden was in late 2004, but there have been several low quality audio tapes released this year.

If the Phrench are convinced that this is true, they can only be keeping it quiet until they figure out whom within Al Queada they now have to appease.

I have been saying that for over a year.

At least, we should claim it, and make him raise his profile to prove otherwise, if he isn't.

LOL

So what does Kerry do now? Does he claim that Bush can't find him because he is in a grave? Or does he say that UBL is still alive and demands that the Bush administration find him? :munchin

Don't expect the mainstream media to run the story as this would be good news for Bush. The NYT will want the body with three DNA tests and five verifications before that they will admit the UBL is dead. Then they will spin it that it is bad news because UBL wasn't taken alive so he could be put on trail as it is a law enforcement/criminal matter.

I'll take UBL dead anyway at all. :D

Osama bin Laden dead (?)

Slick Willie Said he tried.

It doesn't make any difference to me if this SOB (Osama bin Laden) is dead or alive, as long as he is unable to encourage, plan, or execute further attacks. In this regard I give credit to the administration.

Yeah, he said that he didn't have sex with Monica, too.:rolleyes:

Billy Waugh said in his book that he had eyes on OBL regularly and was denied the opportunity to act.

He sure did. :D His comment about the President having 8 months...when he had 8 years was unbelievable.

Dead is dead...hopefully he is indeed burning in hell.

As Yoda would say: "Do or do not, there is no try." But alas in Willie's case there are half assed efforts. Even if the current administration was not directly responsible for his death they have kept him on the run for 5 years now and that had to undermine his ability to lead, plan and execute.

I think for Clinton a eternal panicked, flailing, free fall while choking on the dust, debris and flaming ash of one of the twin towers should suffice.
