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."

The night of August 21, 2006 is the night Prophet Mohammed ascended to heaven from the Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem while a great light lit-up the night sky. August 22 is the day Iran's President Ahmadinejad will give his 'answer' to the West concerning his nuclear program. A coincidence? August 22 is the day "Allah will know his own", meaning that infidel, non-Muslim, victims will go to a well-deserved punishment in hell and Muslims will be sent to heaven.
'Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate. --Quran 9:73 (via The Conservative Voice)'
In 874 A.D., the “12th Imam”, the Mahdi, which means messiah or guide, was “hidden by God”, and most muslims believe his return will signal the onset of Armageddon in which Islam will dominate the world. This strangely coincides with the much older prophecy that the Anti-Christ will come from the East at the start of Armageddon.
The Mahdi can’t come unless there is major opression, death and destruction of muslims going on and Ahmadinejad wants to promote this to bring about the Mahdis return. -- via Islaminazi

I was lurking near the end of 98, so I do remember the numerous real trolls.
I believe the Viking Kitty stuff started after I arrived in 99.
Thank you for posting the important info.
Yes, it's a perfect bank shot for GWB. He uses the guys who hate him in the CIA to confirm the authenticity of bogus OBL tapes. It's a beautiful thing!
The CIA guys were willing to do it so the Dems could ridicule GWB for not getting OBL.
W didn't care 'cause he got the larger advantage of keeping peoples' attention focused on th WOT.
The death of Osama might be needed to make "room" for the 12th Iman
I would rather hear that Zawahiri was dead. He is the real force behind Al Queda. Bin Laden is just Al Queda's venture capitalist who managed to get a Board seat.
Comrade Murtha would like the way you think. LOL.
I wasn't critical, I was reminiscing about the good old days for the benefit of others. I could see by your date you would have the same memories.
>" How can President Bush and his team take credit for the death of OSBL , when ? they never even found him or captured him in the first place ? ,,, Bush was never intent on finding OSBL, and we ( Dems ) are going to be stronger on the WOT than the Republicans and Bush "<
Osama has been skulking in a cave for well on 5 years. If Bush had not put pressure on him, he'd have been in some cushy hospital, getting the best treatment his billions of dollars could buy.
Let's all hope this is true. But, BUT--since it came from a FRENCH newspaper, I will consider the source.
HAHAHAHAHA! Maybe he'd weigh in about bagged spinach, too.
I didn't take it that way.

Agreed, no concrete evidence of his being alive since 2001 has ever been shown. Someone in another thread mentioned finding a note with his handwriting on it a few years ago or so, but we all know how subjective that is.
Trust me, osama is a man that thrived on publicity and attention. That is why he still appeared on that video in 2001, even though he looked near death, because his ego was greater than his desire to appear invincible from U.S. forces (bombs).
Most telling is that in the video released recently threatening arab states and israel, it was not osama but his second in command zawahiri that appears. They can smuggle opium and everything and anything in and out of afghanistan and pakistan, you'd think they could smuggle a reliable piece of video that shows osama live in real time by now. Yet they haven't.
So, Osama died a long time ago. If he does show up alive one day I'll be the first to eat crow, but for now he's most assuredly dead.
Here is a wild speculative thought. What if "they" knew Osama had died earlier and knew that Imam was due to come back in August. Do you leave a void by announcing his death or do you pretend he is alive until the fated day.
That may explain the smell that emanates from that part of the World. OTOH, maybe its the superior intellect and love for the fellow man that keeps that part of the world so odoriferous.
