PARIS (AP) - The head of terrorist network al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, has died, according to information from the Saudi police, transmitted by the Directorate-General of External Services (DGSE), and reported on the Lorraine daily newspaper L'Est republicain in its Saturday edition.
"According to a commonly reliable source, the Saudi police believes that Osama Bin Laden has died," said a September 21st confidential note from the DGSE classified as "defense." L'Est republicain will publish it in its Saturday edition. The note, specified the daily newspaper, would be re-printed "un-edited."
According to the note to be published by the L'Est republicain, the Saudi police "would try to obtain more details, in particular the location of the burial site, and then announce the news officially." The DGSE specified in the note that no "jihadist Internet site has for the moment been made aware of the death of Osama bin Laden."
According to the note, "the head of al Qaeda may have fallen victim to a strong case of typhoid fever while in Pakistan, on August 23, 2006," and may have died within a matter of days.
The French news organization transmitted this note to the President of France, to the Defense and Prime Minister and the Ministers of the Interior Department on September 21, according to the regional daily newspaper, which added that a prior note transmitted on September 19th to the leaders of France explained why the Saudi police "sought to confirm the death of Osama bin Laden."
Well if World Net Daily picked it up, it has to be wrong, bummer:(
Bound to be an interesting thread bump
I do find it suspicious.
Eat shit and die! Couldn't happened to a better candidate!
Babel Fish. Hey I went to school with the guy that founded that. He did not go to the 20 year reunion, but he sent a letter on how he got really rich.

FReeper headsonpikes is gonna be awfully disappointed if this is true.
Can't argue with the experts!
Is it possible to deliver typhoid in some weaponized form covertly to an area that is believed to contain Ladens hideout?
Thanks E, I missed your ping and pinged you instead. :')
Holy crap--I thought you were talking to me.
I have thought that OBL was dead for some time. The last video of him he appeared very ill. He sat on the left side of a man who did all the talking. OBL kept his head down and his left arm seemed to just dangle at his side. This has been years ago so I feel safe in saying "he is dead Jim".
LOL! I know, and apologize to maggots. Maggots, unlike Osama, serve a useful purpose.

I invented post-its.

At first, I did too!
