What about Osama Bin Laden being dead from typhoid? Was it so quickly dismissed because the French reported it

Answer 1

It wasn't reported by the French. It was reported by a French paper known for sensationalizing issues.

In this case the French DGSE was investigating rumors, but the sources that reported the death were not reliable, so the DGSE did not put a lot of credence into it. But the story forced the DGSE to expend additional resources to investigate a bad tip and it has led nowhere in almost two months.

Answer 2

IT was dismissed so quickly because there was none of the usual signs that go with the death of an al Qaeda leader. The fact that the french reported it has nothing to do with anything. Is it possible that some day he could die of typhoid? Yes but we are not that lucky today.

Answer 3

I honestly do not think that Laden is dead. If pictures were shown of him, it would be hard to believe it is true. Due mostly to the fact of impersonators. The hunt for Hussein revealed numerous impersonators. Think about it, we are talking about a man who took 80 million dollars left by his father and turned it into a 280 million dollar organization. It is also said that he also has his hands in our military, profiting off of all of the sales of any military weapon, vehicle, etc. Also, notice the lack of concern and media coverage of something that is "the highest priority". So due to the fact that the French reported it quickly, or anything else, I honestly do not believe he is dead at all.

Answer 4

What anybody is forgetting is that the Pakistani military rescued US forces from Mogadishu, in Somalia. They were there to help them with extraction from a community held below the effect of warlords that were in the wallet of Al Queda. The Pakistani's do not have any allegiance to Al Queda and may want to consequently have assisted the individuals in besides they could be able to, in spite of each and every thing u . s . a . of america has enormous money, regardless of what they tell Joe cleansing soap. at the same time as rumours began circulating many years in the past, that Osama Bin weighted down had infiltrated Pakistan the authorities there suggested they could do each and every thing it would want to to ensure the actuality of the rumours and help the individuals. i believe that they have got stuck to their be conscious, come out of it proving their alliance and Osama is ultimately lifeless.
