PARIS (AP) - The head of terrorist network al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, has died, according to information from the Saudi police, transmitted by the Directorate-General of External Services (DGSE), and reported on the Lorraine daily newspaper L'Est republicain in its Saturday edition.
"According to a commonly reliable source, the Saudi police believes that Osama Bin Laden has died," said a September 21st confidential note from the DGSE classified as "defense." L'Est republicain will publish it in its Saturday edition. The note, specified the daily newspaper, would be re-printed "un-edited."
According to the note to be published by the L'Est republicain, the Saudi police "would try to obtain more details, in particular the location of the burial site, and then announce the news officially." The DGSE specified in the note that no "jihadist Internet site has for the moment been made aware of the death of Osama bin Laden."
According to the note, "the head of al Qaeda may have fallen victim to a strong case of typhoid fever while in Pakistan, on August 23, 2006," and may have died within a matter of days.
The French news organization transmitted this note to the President of France, to the Defense and Prime Minister and the Ministers of the Interior Department on September 21, according to the regional daily newspaper, which added that a prior note transmitted on September 19th to the leaders of France explained why the Saudi police "sought to confirm the death of Osama bin Laden."
"Bush tortured Osama to death."
LOLLLL!!
OBL not a marytr? Bummer.
I "Jaffer the Pilot" is real, Osama's death could be a trigger for his action. I think the whole thing is their idea of psy-ops. Like the Aug 22nd hoax.
Sooooo, there's actually something good to be said for Typhoid!
Before sundown I believe.
"Damn it, Captain. He's dead!"
Now, could one of you be so kind as to bring me a beer and a frosty mug? Thanks bubbies.
LOL!
Good point. ;o)
A very belated WELCOME to Free Republic! ;o)
I've heard through military sources that we've found the body and covered it in pig fat.
If this is true ( doubt it ) let's dig him up and blow him up!
No way to end a war. It's gotta be the last bullet of the last
battle. But we'll take it.
Damn that Karl Rove is good.
According to a quick Google search, the Taliban funeral was in July.
OOO,,GOODY,,,,,Now Git Back To Work And Kill The Rest Of Em',,,!! Big Deal,,Another One Bites The Dust !
I will not believe this until a couple of captured AQ types have admitted this after being waterboarded.
remember, you saw it first on Free Republic ;)
Depends on who does the testing. I'm very skeptical of this. We've had our hopes up before, just to have them dashed.
