Osama bin Laden is alive and playing a key role in directing the war in Afghanistan, leaked US military files suggest.
Multiple intelligence reports on the whereabouts of the al-Qaeda leader are contained among the documents.
They disclose publicly for the first time that bin Laden is thought to be personally overseeing the work of suicide bombers and the makers of Taliban roadside bombs which have had a devastating effect on British and US troops.
They undermine rumours bin Laden had died and also appear to contradict comments by Leon Panetta, the CIA director, as recently as last month that there had been no intelligence on the al-Qaeda leader since the “early 2000s”.
A secret “threat report” drafted by the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) in 2006 locates bin Laden as well as the Taliban leader Mullah Omar to the Pakistani city of Quetta as well as several villages on the Afghan border. * * *

This Wiki leaked report is dated today. Not my fault that our government suppressed these news reports for four years.
Oh wait.....OSama
Never mind.
Likely OBL’s body guards are ISI and his house is rent free.
I agree 100%. Blame the Pakis
*Ping*!
I still believe the bastard is nothing but a rotted corpse entombed inside of Tora Bora.
No, not quite. Let's save you some grief, shall we?
The report said that bin Laden is thought to be alive.
i think that the b@stard is rotting in a cave in Tora Bora.
As for Panetta's comments, they had access to the same intelligence, and yet rejected the notion that bin Laden is alive. Perhaps other yet-to-be-published intelligence has contradicted what was released. Remember, what exists is only a small fraction of American intelligence available, and no matter what you think of the intelligence director (Panetta), he did have access to material that none of us have access to.
The only thing that's going to convince me that he's still alive is a video of him holding up a newspaper with the date showing...and even that can be faked these days.
Sheer idiocy and misinformation out of Panetta. The US has been running Osama’s dead corpse like a zombie for years, to fit whatever incompetent ends suits the day ;).
Osama was dead in 2005.
