Maybe he is then again maybe not,
The problem is that there are so many conflicting stories coming out about how he died or why he is still alive. For example some reliable sources
would argue that he died during the battle of Tora-Bora but then we have the reports from French and Saudi intelligence that he died of typhoid, then
the claim (or tong-twist) of Bhutto’s that he was killed by Omar sheikh who I believe may have been at one time a MI6 asset and possibly even
assassinated OBL under orders of British intelligence. But on the other side, we have all the claims by other intelligence agencies and some
journalists who strongly argue that he is alive and handing somewhere in Pakistan or possibly the Yemen, and then we have those who maintain that all
the videos of OBL are legitimate.
I personally believe he is dead, I think he probably died at some time in 2006 or during the battle of tora-bora either way, I don’t think either
side would admit to his death. Even if he is alive by some small chance just now he no longer has any operational control over the franchise that has
became post-9/11 Al’Qa’ida and as such is no real thread unlike some other radical Islamic terrorist leaders.
Good thread.
