Osama Bin Laden is not in Pakistan he is dead says Taliban leader
Pakistan Daily ^ | 5/26/08 | Pakistan Daily

Posted on 05/26/2008 6:50:37 PM PDT by melt

A top Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud has rejected reports that al-Qaeda leader, Osama Bin Laden, and other leaders are hiding in his region.

"The al-Qaeda leader, Osama Bin Laden is dead, and the Afghan Taliban leader, Mullah Omar, are not in our territory," he said in an interview broadcast by a satellite television network.

Funeral prayers have been said for Osama bin Laden over the years with one reported by a Pakistani news organisation, and another in an Egyptian newspaper as far back as December 2001.

This report quoted an official of the Taliban saying that he had suffered serious complications in the lungs and died a natural and quiet death.

The news has been reported that he died of heart and kidney disorders. Americans and Pakistani leaders have suggested that he was one, killed in the US bombing of Afghanistan, died of illness later, or just died.

The pro-Taliban leader who is based in Pakistan's tribal area of South Waziristan denied hosting the Saudi leader in local villages, as US intelligence officials suspect.

Mehsud also rejected claims by the government in Islamabad that he was responsible for the assassination in December of Pakistan People's Party leader, Benazir Bhutto. "It wasn't us who killed Bhutto," he said.

He was quoted saying that the ex Prime minister was murdered because of the reason her leak to the media.

Benazir Bhutto had said Osama Bin Laden was murdered live on a British televevision interview with David Frost of the BBC on 2nd November 2007 has Benazir Bhutto mentioning that Osama Bin Laden was murdered 2 minutes into the video.

As far as I’m concerned Osama Bin Laden = Islam. Last time I read the news Islam is alive and well.

Baitullah Mehsud doesn’t provide any details about OBL’s death, though. You’d think he could and would.

Yes, it's true. Bhutto made these comments in early November in an interview with David Frost of the BBC. YouTube it.

Let’s not forget thatin the late 1960’s the US declared Che Guivera and Vo Nguyen Giap dead. Then they showed up alive.

The man is too much of an egomaniac not to get his voice and picture out there on a regular basis.

Good point.

As coroner, I must aver
I thoroughly examined him
And he's not only merely dead
He's really, most sincerely dead!

“....from time to time he has released recorded messages....I thought the Pentagon had done voice analysis and confirmed it was definately him.”

I keep reading that Osama is dead on these pages. By the Pentagon’s keeps talking about him being alive. Does anyone know why the US government doesn’t agree that he is dead if it is so obvious?

Couldn’t this be disinformation by AQ? Seems like one way of disappearing is to convince everyone that your are dead.

>>>Does anyone know why the US government doesn’t agree that he is dead if it is so obvious?

Take your pick:

1) He is not dead and the govt knows he isn’t dead and simply says so.

2) He is dead and believed to be dead but it is unprovable, and any such claims would be attacked with no way to rebut as “Bush lies” to take credit for saving America from the fiend yadda yadda.

3) He is dead but the CIA analysts who can’t find their way to the toilet are being tricked by the expertise of the Al Qaeda audio/visual arts department.

I lean to choice 2 but I don’t rule out choice 3. I think he died at Tora Bora.

Seriously... Suppose he was killed during the ToraBora bombings and his body was under rubble... or better yet, he died, and they removed his body and buried it somewhere else, so the U.S. never finds it...

How the hell do you find a body under ground, somewhere in Agh/Pak? This is a sick joke. Bush should have come out a long time ago, and called thier bluff... Said as far as he can tell, Osama's dead.
