Top Taliban Leader Says Bin Laden Is Dead…Poll Question: Is He Even Relevant?
Al-Arabiya TV says he is hiding in the K2 Mountains of Northern Pakistan. My neighbor says he’s hiding out in a bunker on life support inside Iron Mountain.
But top Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud says that Bin Laden is dead…
Question: Does it even matter anymore? How important is it to you to know whether he is dead or alive?
A top Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud has rejected reports that al-Qaeda leader, Osama Bin Laden, and other leaders are hiding in his region.
“The al-Qaeda leader, Osama Bin Laden is dead, and the Afghan Taliban leader, Mullah Omar, are not in our territory,” he said in an interview broadcast by a satellite television network.
Funeral prayers have been said for Osama bin Laden over the years with one reported by a Pakistani news organisation, and another in an Egyptian newspaper as far back as December 2001.
This report quoted an official of the Taliban saying that he had suffered serious complications in the lungs and died a natural and quiet death.
