A French newspaper, Saturday, Sept. 23, 2006, leaked an intelligence report that says Saudi agents believe Osama bin Laden is dead. (AP)
***************************************************
Osama bin Laden's health has deteriorated in the past year, forcing him to curtail his movements, according to Arab diplomats in Pakistan who routinely track reports of his movements.
A senior source with an intelligence service friendly to the United States told CBS News that Saudi Intelligence has collected what it considers to be "very credible information" that bin Laden has been very seriously ill, and that the Saudi services are now suggesting, though not confirming, that they "have a pretty high certainty" that he is dead.
The source added that if he has died as a result of typhoid fever, which comes from exposure to contaminated water and food, it would confirm reports that he has been hiding in a remote area, under very harsh conditions with limited access to medical care.
While Pakistani officials and diplomats stationed in the country on Saturday did not confirm a report in a French regional newspaper that claimed the world's most wanted terrorist had died of typhoid earlier this month, some spoke of reports in the past year suggesting that bin Laden's health had rapidly deteriorated, prompting speculation over his remaining life expectancy.
Time Magazine also reported that bin Laden "has become seriously ill and may have already died" from a "water-borne illness."

OOOOOoooohh he's a Ginger! (South Park)
A flamboyant ginger at that.
Perhaps we shall never know if he is alive or not. Would be nice if we could nail Zawahari and see if anyone in the upper echelon come forth with new broadcasts. Would they show any proof that UBL is alive. UBL probably had slithered off to some remote location and shut the doors. He knows ground and air recon is after his butt.
I fell sorry for the 72 virgins who have to get with THAT.
There is a gated and guarded Mohammedan enclave, complete with mosque & mullah/imam in a NE Georgia County about 100 plus miles from Atlanta.
On September 9, 2001, a visitor found their gates locked. He'd been in the enclave a number of times to do regular business. But this day, the gates were locked. He gave it no thought until September 11, 2001.
The Mohammedans in the USA were given a warning before September 11, 2001.
The enclave in NE GA would be a pretty safe spot to hide a nuclear-suitcase that could easily be transported into Atlanta or any place up and down the I-85 and I-95 Corridor.
"They" (Muhammedans who want to kill infidels) are everywhere.
Yes.
AMANPOUR: How did Shaikh Mohamed, who studied engineering in a college in the United States, conceive the 9/11 attacks?
FOUDA: In the beginning they did consider attacking a couple of nuclear facilities. They said, "Well, we considered it in the beginning, but we decided not to do it for now."
Aww shoot, he already had a mustache so we couldn't get the whole Groucho effect, lol.
Hmm, I'm wondering about that nose there!

I thought they pretty much have had their @$$ handed to them already, based on having Ms. Plame in their employ AND allowing Wilson to do ANYTHING "for" them.
The CIA should be disbanded any those few parts still functioning dispersed to other intelligence activities.
Yes.
I agree. Still dead after all these years.
Only two know for sure since they buried him and they are probably both dead by now. We'll never have the corpus proof either way seems like. Want to buy a fingerbone of OBL? Won't cure anything, but more people will come to your literature salon.
