Only in the event that this could be true, The information is passed on, only in the event this could be true, but the report is not appearing in the English language press yet. The Japanese information source was also not quoted by name. Either it is true, partially true or it is false (disinformation or non-credible reports), but it deserves multiple independent confirmation, seeing as Yomiuri Shimbun carried it and Yomiuri is a large, reputable mainline daily Japanese news source. They, too, had their skepticism in the title, but chose to run the story anyway. Finally, no other Japanese news services are running at this time.

Just think, if he is dead, who is CNN going to interview. One of the many doubles? CNN will try real hard to make us believe it really is bin Laden. It really, really is bin laden. Poor CNN, just lost there chance to over take Fox as most watched cable news. CNN will be the only ones mad if this is true.

Eight Days ago? The only reason "friendlies" would knock off Osama and Omar would be to stop the US bombing and possibly save their own necks.
If someone had knocked off Osama and Omar to stop US bombing and end the attacks, why wouldn't they make the information public?

Much of the Taleban's communication abilities within Afghanistan have been destroyed. Rumors that bin Laden and his one eyed buddy, putt-putt, are dead will be hard for the Taleban to combat. I like the touch of his be killed by his own men.

Has a certain air of legitimacy to it, which is encouraging. But of course it means nothing until a body is presented.
Also, Zawahiri has to go too. In fact, unless we get Zawahiri, al-Quaeda is still completely open for business.

We must destroy all the heads of this hydra-headed monster. Then destroy the nest that breeds them.

"Chinese News Service Reports: Osama bin Laden Killed?"
This is unfair!! Why ist that all of the possible good news is always unconfirmed. I suppose we can always keep hoping.
To: AmericanInTokyo
Sounds like Saddam has been advising bin Laden and Omar: I recall at least two false reports originating out of that part of the world about him being assassinated sometime around Desert Storm. Don't get your hopes up, everyone.
To: AmericanInTokyo
I can't read Chinese all that well, but the Yomiuri report merely states that the Chinese are reporting that Bin Laden and Omar may have been assassinated.
To: AmericanInTokyo
Hey you crazy Americans, bin Laden is dead.
Now all you crazy Americans can stop looking for him.
We buried him according to our relgious rites.
Now, take your bombs, and your tanks, and your men, and go.
btw: your thread is posted on Rense.com

it was reported an ally fired upon his (Omar's) back from the rear. That's the best position to fire upon someone's back...
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,
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.
