Osama bin Laden may be dead, paper says
Speculation is rife that top Al Qaeda terrorist, Osama bin Laden, may be dead.
The French regional daily L'Est Republicain reported on Saturday that Saudi Arabia's intelligence agency had determined bin Laden had died of typhoid in Pakistan last month. The newspaper said it based its information on a classified document originating in the French DGSE intelligence service.
It said the DGSE found the Saudi report sufficiently credible to have it relayed to French President Jacques Chirac. The French Defence Ministry has said the report could not be confirmed and that it would launch an inquiry into the leak.
A U.S. intelligence official warned the report should be treated with caution, while a senior Pakistani interior ministry official said Islamabad had not received information from any foreign government that would corroborate the story. |
