Why should we believe them?
Show me the DNA..
Has this been confirmed by any reliable news outlets?
The NYTimes believes them. Isn't that good enough?
I was gonna say............ the NYT says it, so it's confirmed?
Whazza matter, you?
It says they confirmed it on their web site.
Don't you get it? (Sigh!) I'll spell it out.
A. Yesterday, on their web site, they reported he was dead, but it wasn't confirmed.
B. Today, they reported on their web site that they confirmed their earlier report.
What isn't clear? First they reported it, then they confirmed it. It is good enough to the NYT, so it should be good enough for anybody.
You sound like the type that would want to interrupt their mourning, to ask to see a body, even though you know that, as good Islamonazis, they have to bury him in an unmarked grave, intact* (Allah, the All Powerful is powerless to reassemble him if an Infidel defiles him by stealng a piece for testing) within 24 hours, or he will go to Muslim Hell.

* By special Dispensation, this provision specifically does not apply to those who self destruct as a means to killing Infidels as part of a Martyrdom Operation. See P189, pp17, sec 297-f, sub-sect 16 of the footnotes to Hadith 3146, as amended...
