Iranian Intelligence Minister Heydar Moslehi claims that Osama Bin Laden died from an illness before the US raid on his compound in Abbottabad. Iran has documents to prove it, he said.
"We have credible information that Bin Laden died some time ago of a disease," Moslehi said on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting on Sunday, as quoted by ISNA news agency.

This sounds far more likely than the 72 versions from last week.
HMMM this could be vry interesting.What if Obama did fake his death to boost his sagging poll numbers?
Aha! The Persian Version...
And when they raided the compound, did they find any evidence of medical care? There should have been -- he didn't go out much (if at all).
Yeah, well, we can prove we got him last week because we have the bod... uh, we have the pictur... uh, we have... well, we did because our president said we did, so there!
Little crissy mathews just got a chill up his other leg!!
If so, who was the unfortunate ones in the house?
His son is saying he might sue US for throwing the body in the ocean.
Who’s paying who?
Oh dear.
No I believe this was planned for just the right time but had to be done now
because of the birth certificate explosion. A Clinton tactic.
I read an article earlier in the week that said they found medication for stomach ulcers and also some kind of herbal substitute for viagra.
who has told more lies, the iranians or “the won”. this is a tough one to call, it’s like choosing whether to believe something in the globe or the new york times.
You're going to believe Ubama?
Why do I believe Iran more than our own government?
Hmmm.....
Hooray! Judging by the replies so far, FR is becoming MichaelMoore.com again! Yay!
(In all seriousness, give yourself a break and just try to be happy that American forces actually did shoot OBL to death in the face last week. That’s what we conservatives call a good thing. It’s okay to celebrate it, for crying out loud! And if Obama goes up 5 points because of it, big freakin’ deal.)
I going to believe the reports over the last 10 years. I think Obama has been dead for quite so time.
There’s an herbal substitute for viagra?!
Hope the BO doesn’t dispatch the SEALS to IRAN now!
Wouldn’t surprise me in the least. Sorry to say that a part of me would love for them to release irrefutable proof and let the scum in the WH try to spin their way out of it.
bttt
When it's the iranians or the lying scum in the White House it's really a toss up...isn't it?
Where’s the Death Certificate?
Well, they should know because *they* have been safehousing the bin Laden family for years, and also Zawahiri who pops in and out of Iran like a frikkin jack-in-the-box whener the fancy takes him, and Gadahn who mostly stays put.
So, yes, they knew bin Laden was dead. Back in 2005.
LLS
probably saw palmetto
So do you think we killed a body double?
There was this Iranian, Heydar
Who claimed Osama was on his radar.
But he’s gone, it was said
A “disease” knocked him dead-
Perhaps we should fire up the Gaydar?
The Iranian government is every bit as credible as the U.S. government.
Let that sink in for a while.
> Why do I believe Iran more than our own government?
You lack a rational thought process, would be my guess. It is quite withing the realm of probability for the wrong person (Obama) to do the right thing (order a hit on Osama) on occasion. It is quite far outside the realm of probability for the Iranian mullahs to tell the truth when it doesn’t serve to advance their own interests.
In short, Obama’s an a-hole but he’s OUR a-hole.
Obama isn’t my A-hole (and he’s not my President, either)
The evidence suggests Pakistan's ISI hired or forced a Bin Laden double to live in the house. There were a lot of political benefits to both sides in pretending Bin Laden was still alive. Until Obama whacked the guy to change the subject away from the birth certificate. Nobody in the global intelligence community ever imagined a US President would risk military lives on such a cheap political act. Bush could have done the same thing in Fall, 2008 and probably helped McCain beat Obama - but he didn't.
I agree. Obama's approval will soon be sinking into the abyss along with the economy. Americans will vote with their wallets not on Bin Laden's death. Most Americans that is.
Didn’t Zawahiri inadvertently let the cat out of the bag a few years back? There was widespread speculation about that.
The “unfortunate ones in the house” are the dead witnesses that cannot testify to anything. All loose ends neatly tied up. Nothing to see here, folks.
Not as such but if they can produce credible documentation then lets look it over. I mean trusting the Iranians is no more a stretch than trusting Jug Ears. In fact he’s not given any proof whatsoever has he?
Actually the Globe is the Times. The NYT company has owned the Boston Globe for years and the New England edition of the Times is printed on the same presses.
And the Herald is far superior to both
Is is true that there is a video on youtube where Mrs. Bhutto names the person who killed Bin Laden? Maybe the Iranians are on to something. I would not put anything past Obama and his people.
Don’t know about body doubles.
We’ll just go with what we know and can prove.
Fact: Last known genuine communication from Osama was in connection with the last Bush election.
Fact: In August of 2005, Zawahiri turned up mourning Osama and giving instructions to his followers. The vid is up here: http://www.junipersec.com/cyber.htm , under the heading “Long Memory Exercise”. It’s a fairly low-quality clip, out of al jazeera - we have HD stuff but that is much larger.
Fact: Immediately thereafter a report was given to the then head of the DIA. That report (redacted) is here:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2714998/posts?page=116#116
Fact: Zawahri, Gadahn and the bin Laden sons have been routinely holed up in Iran.
As for what, or who, the SEALs shot I don’t know. I think it’s entirely possible they don’t know either, and if they do know they cannot tell.
Where is Sherlock Holmes and Doc Watson when you need ‘em??
The DesMoines Institute.
You’ve heard of it?
We’re familiar with it.
But, but, but what about the DNA????
Odumbo isn’t my ANYTHING!
“But, but, but what about the DNA????”
Could have come from one of his sons....the dead one.
Well, the choice is between believing Obama and Iranian officials, both of whom are known to be liars.
Where’s the long-form Death Certificate?
the LONG FORM Death Certificate!
