PARIS (Reuters) - A French regional newspaper quoted a French secret service report on Saturday as saying that Saudi Arabia is convinced that al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden died of typhoid in Pakistan last month.

L'Est Republicain printed what it said was a copy of the report dated September 21 and said it was shown to President Jacques Chirac, Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin and France's interior and defence ministers on the same day.

"According to a usually reliable source, the Saudi services are now convinced that Osama bin Laden is dead," the document said.

"The information gathered by the Saudis indicates that the head of al Qaeda was a victim while he was in Pakistan on August 23, 2006, of a very serious case of typhoid which led to a partial paralysis of his internal organs."

I only take what they say with a pinch of salt, as there has been a few times I have noticed they have got facts in there news story’s wrong.

486816 2006-09-23 13:18:00 Short of his typhoid-riddled, wasted corpse being paraded through the streets of Washington DC outside the Whitehouse in a tickertape parade, he will not be dead.

Even if he is.

The West don't want him dead so they pursue their anti-terrorism (or any other) agenda.

The fanatics don't want him dead either, since it means that the West will continue to chase a (literal?) ghost rather than the people in charge. Oh, and because the West will create thousands more to join the fanatics' cause through their screwups.
