Islamabad- A French report that al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden had died in August was met with scepticism in Pakistan on Saturday. In Islamabad, the private Geo television channel quoted unnamed officials as saying no such information was shared with the government of Pakistan.

They were referring to a document drawn up by the French DGSE intelligence service and made public on Saturday alleges that bin Laden had died of typhoid. The document had cited a "usually reliable source" as saying that Saudi intelligence services had acquired information that the al-Qaeda leader had died.

Arab journalists based in Islamabad expressed their doubts about the report, holding the view that if bin Laden had died, then al- Qaeda itself would have announced it, as it did when he was wounded in skirmishes in Afghanistan in 2001.

1. Sounds like a cover story being put out to allow Bin laden to

get some breathing room, jsut prior to the next attack....some time before the next elections....

4. Exactly. Reminds me of how we were attacked before the '02 & '04 elections

Al Qaeda always hits us right before the elections each year. Why should we think this year will be any different?

2. Why should Pakistan know??

They gave him free reign to move wherever he wanted...why would they know anything about him?? Sweet justice if France is the leaker of the info...

6. Because He's Their Guest? nt

3. But the French said their source said the Saudis said their source said...

How can you call that unreliable?

5. Saudis at it again?

The Saudis might just be trying to cover up for bin Laden again. Remember, the Saudis were the primary financiers of 9/11, with money laundered by Dubai.

(So of course we attacked Iraq - don't you get it?)

7. Let Me See...

A multi-millionaire Saudi flies off to lands which require a typhoid vaccination and doesn't get one before he leaves?
Jeez...his second in command is a doctor and can't: a) recognize typhoid or b) cure a disease which only requires a short course of cheap & readily available antibiotics?
I'm sure DGSE would comment, but they're tracking down that hot lead that Jimmy Hoffa has been spotted in Islamabad.
