Rumors of Osama’s Demise

You’ve probably already heard by now that an Arabic site in London has posted a rumor that Osama bin Laden is dead. Apparently there is considerable debate going on among Islamist sites about whether the rumor is true or not. We haven’t mentioned it because we have nothing to add, beyond noting the rumor’s existence.
I thought bin Laden was dead for a couple of years before he made that last video tape, so any speculation I might offer would obviously be unhelpful.
