Bin Laden is dead

Pakistani paper: Bin Laden is dead
Regional-USA, Politics, 10/26/2002

The Paris based " al-Watan al-Arabi" issued yesterday said that Pakistani sources confirmed the death of the leader of al- Qaida organization Osama Bin Laden as a result of the American air bombardment against his forces in the Pakistani city of Toura Bora, noting that the US hid the news of his death for fears of the escalation of voices which call for halting the international campaign against terrorism and the withdrawal of the American forces.

The same sources, in exclusive statement to the magazine in its recent issue, attributed the reasons behind Washington's hiding news on the death of Osama Bin Laden to the desire of the hawks of the American administration to use the issue of al-Qaida and international terrorism to invade Iraq, expecting that the death of Bin Laden will be only announced after completing the plan of attacking Iraq.

More likely alive and welland living in the south-western provinces of China, awaiting new orders from his CIA controllers, perhaps after the Iraq conflict - if we ever get that far

Sorry to spoil your illsuions folks, but Father Christmas and the Tooth Fairy are likewise dead.

Maybe Bin Laden was nothing but a cardboard cut out propped up by the western media as a hate figure.

Doesn't alter the fact that millions of people out there hate America and want to do it down though.

War is the health of the state.
