News of Bin Laden's Deathand 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.

Maybe this is why Porter Goss(head of the CIA) said recently he knew exactly where Bin Laden is. Strangely enough his comments have become a footnote in the annals of history ,as a matter of fact I can't even remember the mainstream news covering this story. For such a bombshell of a quote it was hushed up rather quickly.

And here is another story about the mysterious travels of Osama Bin Laden. Bin Laden already had a $5million bounty on his head in July of 2001 while reportedly being treated for two weeks in an American hospital in Dubai. This story was reported by six news agencies, unfortunately all but one (Reuters) is a European news agency.
