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."

" Somehow, I think that if he died of 'natural causes', Al Queda would release it to taunt us and show the "evil Americans" didn't get him "
It's better than having him die in the custody or the trying to capture him, because then ? his friends and follower will make him a huge martyr to rally around.
Dems ?
Rove fooled you again with the October Surprise, because ? this time ? it's a September Surprise.

Yeah, but my take is a little darker. They know our operators are on the way and this little contrived tragedy might serve to throw them off a little.
It won't, IMHO. What might satisfy us is what they'll never offer - OBL's body.

No shiite, he's dead! He died at Tora Bora in 2001.. Bingo! We said this 5 years ago. No one listens.

I take it that you're kidding, right? OBL was on video right before the 2004 election.

He's been dead for years!
Is this the OCTOBER SURPRISE that Rove was talking about? Is his death FINALLY going to be admitted?

Iran released Bin Laden's son so he could go to his ailing Dad's cave, and then stay for the funeral?

What might satisfy us is what they'll never offer - OBL's body.And Zawahiri. Don't forget Zawahiri. He would be an even bigger catch because he is the closest to being the brains in that sorry outfit.

Considering there have been reports of previous kidney problems, this type of illness on top of malfunctioning kidneys could very well have done Bin Lousy in.
If it did, how ironical that he finally died of one of the afflictions that plagued the Jews in NAZI death camps.
A fitting end for the fookhead, if true.

Given the report that Ben Laden had a real smart nuclear expert smuggle nukes into the USofA headed for D.C. and Washington, this report should make us very nervous.
To: confrico
I'm waiting for the expert!
"As Coroner I must aver,
I thoroughly examined him...
and he's not only merely dead,
but really most sincerely dead."
