Officials skeptical on bin Laden report
By ELAINE GANLEY, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 19 minutes ago
PARIS - A leaked French intelligence document raises the possibility
Osama bin Laden died of typhoid, but
President Jacques Chirac said Saturday the report was "in no way whatsoever confirmed" and officials from Kabul to Washington expressed skepticism about its accuracy.
There have been numerous reports over the years that bin Laden had been killed or that he was dangerously ill, but the al-Qaida leader has periodically released audiotapes appealing to followers and commenting on current news events.
The regional French newspaper l'Est Republicain printed what it described as a copy of a confidential document from the DGSE intelligence service citing an uncorroborated report from a "usually reliable source" who said Saudi secret services were convinced that bin Laden had died.
The document, dated Thursday, was sent to Chirac and other top French officials, the newspaper said.
"This information is in no way whatsoever confirmed," Chirac said when asked about the document. "I have no comment."
Saudi Arabia's Interior Ministry offered no details. "I've heard the reports, but I have no information at all. I have no idea," spokesman Mansour al-Turki told The Associated Press.

No, all the news companies, said no and I dont think they would lie about him not being dead. If they were corrupt they might say he died for ratings, but saying hes not dead doesnt help them a lot

So far no one knows but Al-Queda usually annouces when a leader dies so I doubt it
