In early December 2001, the Pakistan Observer reported on bin Laden’s death – due to untreated health problems – citing al-Qaeda and Taliban officials who claimed to have attended the funeral service. “The Coalition troops are engaged in a mad search operation but they would never be able to fulfill their cherished goal of getting Osama alive or dead,” a source said at the time. Bin Laden was allegedly buried in the vicinity of Tora Bora, along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.

So, we're supposed to think al Qaeda and the ISI aren't also engaging in misinformation?

With an ego the size of Mount Everest, Osama bin Laden would not have remained silent for so long if he were still alive.

He wasn't silent. He released messages time and time again, referencing events that had occurred long after 2001.

How does anyone know it was actually Osama making the quotes? Were they from video/audio tapes?

That’s what I thought.

But his last video was around 6 years ago and he looked like death warmed over, and what appeared to be useless arm.

Everything else since had been audio “believed to be” Bin Laden.

Now knowing he had a courier, why didn’t he send out more videos? Surely, a tape here or there in the last few years would have been a nice moral boost for Al-Q
