DUBAI, Oct 10: Osama bin Laden is alive and well and has even put on weight, a Saudi weekly reported today, quoting what it said was the head of information for bin Laden's al-Qaeda terror network. "For your information, bin Laden's weight has increased by several kilos (pounds), because of his security precautions which prevent him moving around much," Abderrahman al-Rashed told the London-published weekly Al-Majalla.

If he were alive, it would be bloat (water gain) from the kidney disease. But the backwards idiot doesn't know about such things, so he would think it is fat.

If Bin Laden was gaining weight, it would only be that cave roof that fell on his corpse is collapsing more.
