Osama Dead? By Patterico on General I don’t know, but Ace seems to think so. He’s got fireworks going and everything. Here is why he thinks so: 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.” That’s a Free Republic link — apparently a translation of an AP France story. Can’t be an October surprise. It’s still September. Well, it’s a completely unsubstantiated story. We’ll see what the morning brings. It sure would be nice. patterico.com From the Politics for Pros thread. Subject 53920

September 23, 2006 UNSUBSTANTIATED CLAIM: Saudi Police, Via AP France-- OSAMA BIN LADIN DEAD UPDATE... Beginning to throw caution to the wind now. Think this might be legit. I'm linking to the Free Republic link, as their link is in the original French. Obviously, all unconfirmed, the Saudi police would have no obvious reason to know, etc. Supposedly died August 23rd, in Pakistan, of typhoid fever. Here's the translation, by web translator: Osama bin Laden has died, according to the L'Est republicain AP France ^ \| September 23, 2006 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.
