[per loin]

He committed suicide when he thought our troops had him. That's why his followers refuse to admit his death. Otherwise, he would be praised as a martyr.

[Maelstrom]

I believe what I was told.

He died in agony, alone, in the dark, lying in his own fecal matter and urine.

THAT is why he is not a martyr.

My source indicates that he's also buried under several tons of rock...whether or not his body was burned by US weaponry before being buried is still a question.
