Now all you crazy Americans can stop looking for him.

Strong Caveat: This is the first and only such report that appeared several hours ago, off of Chinese and Japanese news wires, and is unconfirmed. Therefore it is just an advisory that such a report has been filed. Merits considerable skepticism while checking its validity.
Report by China News Service quoting Japanese source in Tokyo per the following (translated by AIT from Chinese from the site at: http://www.chinanews.com.cn/2001-10-24/26/133210.html/ in Chinese, and http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/05/20011024id36.htm in Japanese):
"Chinese News Service Reports: Osama bin Laden Killed?"
Filed by Hiroyuki Sugiyama, Yomiuri Shimbun Reporter based in Beijing.
Based on Japanese sources in Tokyo, news report (s) has been received that on October 16th, both the leader of Taliban Afghanistan Omar and the leader of AlQaida, Osama bin Laden, were both shot and killed in Afghanistan, by elements within their ranks. However at this time no other news sources have confirmed the assassinations.
The CNS news report stated that it is reported that Omar and Bin Laden had returned to one of the underground Taliban bases near Kandahar in the south, at approximately 11 a.m. local time in Afghanistan on 16 October. As the two and others were entering the underground base, it was reported an ally fired upon his (Omar's) back from the rear. The report is that Omar was hit in the upper torso, and bin Laden was hit once in the chest and once in the upper left shoulder area. Both expired at that location.
The report goes on to say that accompanying bin Laden were one of his sons and this son's wife, who were also hit with gunfire in the chest, waist and shoulder areas, and they too have reported suffered fatal wounds from this attack. The second eldest son of Omar also suffered a gunshot wound to the right side of his lower torso, and escaped the shooting, but expired on the following day." End of Text

Bush has been very clear about this from the outset.
He has taken every opportunity to repeatedly emphasize exactly this point.
So, why would he, of all people, think otherwise?
If they got OBL and Omar and they told everyone about it, I think some of our iffy allies might get a little less understanding about us staying and bombing the Taliban/Al-Quaeda, even though Bush has said all along "It's not about one man".
Or do we have to stick around Afghanistan for months and months while UNOCAL constructs their oil pipeline?
Well, if they are still bombing over there and if these are the bad guys in the coffins, then they must feel like they've got something left to do. I suspect once they trash their defenses, they'll move on. Where do you think they'll go next?

I would think we could compare the DNA of a corpse with that of his relatives in Saudi Arabia. Presuming of course that they would cooperate.
That's the best position to fire upon someone's back...

I have my doubts. They can't shoot that well, can they?
First to report it.
True or not, the news is diffusing in to the media.
