Osama Bin Laden died eight years ago during the battle for Tora Bora in Afghanistan, either from a US bomb or from a serious kidney disease.

Or so the conspiracy theory goes.

The theory that has developed on the web since 9/11 is that US intelligence services are manufacturing the Bin Laden statements to create an evil bogeyman, to justify the so-called war on terror in Afghanistan, Iraq and back at home.

So is the world's most wanted man still alive?


I as a 'conspiracy factualist' have been saying that it is possible he could be dead for quite some time, Seems the mass media are catching up with those who are bothered to think about it for a minute. Afterall, if the middle east conflict all really was a conflict, would you really want the man responsible for the war on terror to be alive?

duhh!!! [b] In shock the BBC could print this! Go them for asking a question. We're not pushing theories in peoples faces, but hell, if you can't ask a question? That'd be like, well, the last 4 years of being told im an idiot for thinking Bin Laden _might_ be dead!!

funny old world.
