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

When I see Osama and Omar's heads on a stick and their headless bodies drug through the streets of Kabul, then I'll believe it.

I believe your post belongs on the "Do Not Post Any Military Information" thread. That's where I'm not posting all of my military information.

Either it is true, partially true or it is false... At the moment it has a modality of near zero. However it might be true, so the modality would not be exactly zero.

This is terrible news for CNN. Did they ever get their six questions asked before the great one expired?

Does the FBI or interpol have Osama's fingerprints, DNA, or dental records on file? Don't know, but he's got plenty of brothers and sisters to compare DNA to -- and a mother.
