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."

Prophet in the wilderness: To late, the Dems got on board a few weeks ago for the funding of finding OSBL for the tune of $ 200 million just in time for the November elections.
They could wind up pulling a Kerry, and be for it before they were against it.

By the Dhimmicrats? Oh, wait... I grok that -- the whole possibility of hot pursuit into Pakistan just came up, and Musharraf is here...

Let's all sit back and watch this unfold. You still have one or two key members of the leadership around...they must be eliminated as well. We are not done yet.

Doesn't he have a son that is high up, too?

He lives about 25 miles from me, if he is still in Penney Farms.

I had forgotten the year. Was that the video where someone else did the talking and OBL appeared very very ill? I think he died shortly after that video.

If this story is true, you are seeing a main source of the money and fund raising drying up IMO.

July. That probably wasn't Bin Laden's funeral. It was more likely the funeral of a mid-level Taliban associate.

Thanks for that link. If the date is true, it kills that idea deader than Bin Laden.

This seems very familar... Wasn't his death reported before in a similar manner?
Of coruse they want us to think he's dead. The greatest trick the devil pulled was convincing us he didn't exist...

Yep, although Junior Ossama is not in the top ten players yet. He could easily move up though if Dad were dead.
