Zhonghawa Shinwen and Yomiuri Shimbun ^ | 24 October 2001 | China News Service (from Reporter Sugiyama of Yomiuri in Beijing)

[Senator Pardek]

I thought he was still under house arrest?

[OldFriend]

From the moment the Taliban began reporting that bubba bin laiden was unharmed I began to suspect he was dead.

[VaBthang4]

Then when they hand over the body(ies) then we can move on.

Till then...Fox One! Fox Two!

[Helms]

WELL, IT SUPPOSEDLY HAPPENED ON "NATIONAL BOSSES DAY-(US).. GOT TO DOUBT IT THOUGH-TOO EASY.

[Southack]

"zdrasvichye y dosbidanye"

Hello and good bye??

[Johnny_Apollo]

I didn't find anything here: http://www.ipl.org/reading/news/

Either it is true, partially true or it is false...

Really???

[Cornbread]

If it is true do you think they are singing:

Ding Dong! The Bin Laden is dead. Which Bin Laden? Osama Bin Laden!

Ding Dong! Osama Bin Laden is dead.

Wake up – diaper heads, rub your eyes, get out of the cave. Wake up, Osama Bin Laden is dead.

He’s gone where dead terrorist go, Below – not with 72 virgins- NO. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and collect the ransom dough.

Ding Dong' the man is dead, sing it high, sing it low. Let them know Osama Bin Laden is dead!

[AmericanInTokyo]

good questions. I caveated this story because it was a single news source story, but from a generally trusted news outlet. good thing about Freepers are we can collectively put in thoughts and other snippets of information to see if things fit, or pass the 'smell test'.

[pushforbush]

Bump for great wild speculation

[AmericanInTokyo]

and old Beatles song, my friend. You say yes I say now, yousay stop I say go. etc, etc.

[janee]

I thought W looked a little more sure of himself at SBA conference, today! Much better attitude than Tuesday when he said, "I don't have anthrax". That, was a weary answer.

[DallasMike]

This should not have been posted! Just think what would happen if Osama read this and found out that he was actually dead -- it could cripple the war effort. Never let the enemy know that they are dead.

[SC DOC]

Does the FBI or interpol have Osama's fingerprints, DNA, or dental records on file?

[Tis The Time''s Plague]

Excellent B-5 quote, excellent.

[Overtaxed]

If true, we should put his head on a pike.

Have it bronzed and include it in the WTC memorial.

[AmericanInTokyo]

i've looked through some English sources, too. Nothing much popped up. Will see if Yomiuri files a follow up, or it it spreads within Japanese news sources.

[Semper911]

Let's ask Debka!

Thanks for posting this. I don't believe it, but I certainly enjoyed reading it anyway.

[headsonpikes]

You rang, sir?

Always ready to do my bit!
