OBL Dead?
The regional French newspaper l'Est Republicain printed what it described as a copy of a confidential document from the DGSE intelligence service citing an uncorroborated report from a "usually reliable source" who said Saudi secret services were convinced that bin Laden had died.
French President Jacques Chirac stated that the rumor was unconfirmed, but refused comment further. However, the paper's "usually reliable" sources said that bin Laden died from typhoid on August 23, 2006. US officials expressed doubt as to the report's veracity, saying the rumor could not be confirmed.
Rumors of bin Laden's death have been reported before. In 2001, reliable sources told me that bin Laden had been vaporized by a JDAM bomb in his Toro Boro cave in Afghanistan.
