KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Osama bin Laden is "probably" dead, but former Taliban leader Mullah Omar is alive, Afghan President Hamid Karzai has said. "I would come to believe that [bin Laden] probably is dead," Karzai said on CNN's "Late Edition" on Sunday. "But still, you never know. He might be alive. Five months ago, six months ago, I was thinking that he was alive. "The more we don't hear of him, and the more time passes, there is the likelihood that he probably is either dead or seriously wounded somewhere."

Israeli intelligence: Bin Laden is dead, heir has been chosen TEL AVIV -- Osama Bin Laden appears to be dead but his colleagues have decided that Al Qaida and its insurgency campaign against the United States will continue, Israeli intelligence sources said. The Israeli sources said Israel and the United States assess that Bin Laden probably died in the U.S. military campaign in Afghanistan in December. They said the emergence of new messages by Bin Laden are probably fabrications, Middle East Newsline reported.

Translation of Funeral Article in Egyptian Paper:
al-Wafd, Wednesday, December 26, 2001 Vol 15 No 4633
News of Bin Laden's Death and Funeral 10 days ago
Islamabad - A prominent official in the Afghan Taleban movement announced yesterday the death of Osama bin Laden, the chief of al-Qa'da organization, stating that binLaden suffered serious complications in the lungs and died a natural and quiet death. The official, who asked to remain anonymous, stated to The Observer of Pakistan that he had himself attended the funeral of bin Laden and saw his face prior to burial in Tora Bora 10 days ago. He mentioned that 30 of al-Qa'da fighters attended the burial as well as members of his family and some friends from the Taleban. In the farewell ceremony to his final rest guns were fired in the air. The official stated that it is difficult to pinpoint the burial location of bin Laden because according to the Wahhabi tradition no mark is left by the grave. He stressed that it is unlikely that the American forces would ever uncover any traces of bin Laden.


This video from October 2004 is a fake. It is not Osama bin Laden who is on the video:


This video from 2001 is also a fake. It is not Osama bin Laden:


And this video is another fake. It is not Al-Zawahiri:


And here is another fake video. It is not Al-Zawahiri:

What's not proven, it's not proven.

Nowadays, with computer graphics, it's pretty difficult to tell if anything is genuine that you see in the movies or on TV.
Personally, I think Osama was on the wrong side of a Daisy Cutter in Afghanistan.
Oddly, if this be the case, I am not sad.

This topic is really interesting, thanks!

But however, 19.01.06, 17:35, the news say a lot about him. You know, the usual thing, threats of new terrorism in America, conditions how to achieve peace,...

Yes, I heard that the CIA said they think it's really his voice. But I find it odd that he never appears on video any more.
Also I have two daughters who sound so much alike that I cannot tell which of them I am on the phone to, so I still doubt he is alive until I see his happy, smiling face somewhere.

Yes, it's true osama has died and he died just an hour ago. I'm pretty sure and Bush is really enjoying. Very Happy

It's interesting that no videos of Osama are being broadcast, just audio.
On the other hand the number two wiener is on camera, so I guess Osama is dead, or really ugly looking. Such a shame - he was a very pretty baby.

you just guess without real facts but only with your own hope.
That's stupid.

edit: Publishing own opinions not combined with facts is generally stupid.
