I wonder if this is the October surprise that Rove was talking about?

French paper says bin Laden died in Pakistan
Saudi Arabia is convinced al-Qaida leader died of typhoid, paper says

Updated: 4:01 a.m. ET Sept 23, 2006
PARIS - A French regional newspaper quoted a French secret service report on Saturday as saying that Saudi Arabia is convinced that al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden died of typhoid in Pakistan last month.

L’Est Republicain printed what it said was a copy of the report dated Sept. 21 and said it was shown to President Jacques Chirac, Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin and France’s interior and defense ministers on the same day.

Wow hip, you beat me too it. I was actually going to get on here and go "OMG, Rove must've had OBL and injected him with typhoid and then dumped him along with a french reported in Pakistan and then forced the guy through torture to write the story. No fair! October surprise!" I'm sad now



Seriously though, until some more things come out to back this up I'm just taking it as another misreported "Osama is dead" stories.

We have known for a while that he has been in bad health, on a kideny dialasis machine (or at least needing the treatments), but in the immortal words of Bill-O' and others - if it has not been corroborated, if I don't see his cold, lifeless body, he ain't dead!
