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."
Interesting that you would ask..... There's a small coffee/cappuccino shop in the lobby where I work, family-run, which happens to be......muslim. Guess what they were serving for lunch yesterday? HOT FRESH SPINACH WRAPS.
Damn, that would have been such a good score.
Agree Completely.. Won't trust any muslim source. Or French sourses either. i.e. Lance Armstrong doping tests
Researching the death of Osama "The Cat" bin Laden. I'm looking to see if this might actually be the final, terminal, 9th of the 9 lives:
October 2001, killed in Tora Bora attack
October 16, 2001, killed by his own men, shot in the back, along with Mullah Omar
December 2001, died of kidney failure
December 2001, died in US led attack (not sure if this was before or after the kidney failure killed him)
Feb 4, 2002 killed by US Hellfire drone launched missile
April 28, 2005, dead of unknown causes, possibly, for the second time, kidney and other organ failure
October 2005, died in earthquake
December 2005, died a third time of kidney failure
August 23, 2006, died of typhoid fever
Yep, this is the 9th life. He's cashed them all in. Definitely dead. This time. Yep. For sure. Uh-huh. Gotta be.......
and during Ramadan!!!
If it had been UBL funeral, and we hit it, we would never have been able to sort out the dna to confirm his death.
God be Praised! LOL
And I thought I knew evertyhing")
Yep, I understand that.. though that's not the reason we didn't strike.. The Terrorists are pure animals that have and will continue to show no mercy towards our troops and us, recent example: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1707038/posts
It would have been a good score.
Did you hear?
Should have sent them the bags of spinach. At least then we'd have some dna to test. wHoly Shi-ite!
Congressional Democrat Reaction:
"Damm George Bush! This man was innocent till proven guilty. Poor guy has been on the run without medical care for 5 years, and no toilet paper! Bush must be impeached for this abuse!"
Nah, shrink his head and put it on the key ring that opens the front door of whatever they build on the WTC site. Then, after televising the grand opening, stick a firecracker or two in his ear(s) and blow it up.
I do think he is dead.
No anniversary Video. Pak's call off the search.
Just Seems he is dead.
Now we just wait till Bush news conference.
Maybe three days before election. Perfect.
It will set Dems into hyper insanity mode.
Headline?
UBL Dead under W's watch, running from Americans causes end of his life as he hid in an unsanitary cave with open cesspools.
What a way to go if true.
He wanted to die in a hail of bullets like a War hero.
Wonder if he left the DNC a contribution in his will?
thx :)
That is funny!
