    Ok, this used to be a major tabloid ( pre sept 11 ) but is trying to change into a *real* paper. Trying to throw us off the trail or the truth? Why now?

    BIN LADEN "DEAD" On the 24th night of Ramadan there were scary explosions in the place where Osama bin Laden's cave was. It was completely erased, destroyed by an enormous 52ft missile. There is no doubt that Osama bin Laden died

    By Mark Ellis, Foreign Editor


    OSAMA bin Laden's supporters yesterday issued a statement on the internet saying he was dead.

    The claims, repeated in the Al Bayan newspaper in the United Arab Emirates, said that the al-Qaeda terror chief died when the Americans bombed the Tora Bora mountains in Afghanistan.

    The details tally with dates of bombing missions in which US intelligence experts suspected that he may have been killed.

    The newspaper's story, headlined, "Yes, Osama bin Laden is dead but the Jihad will continue until Judgement Day'', quotes witness Shahid Ayan saying he perished on December 10, 2001.

    He said: "On the 24th night of Ramadan (Dec 10) and at a late hour, there were some scary explosions in the place where Osama bin Laden's cave was.

    "The cave was completely erased from the ground and became nothing. This was the only cave of the 15 that was destroyed by an enormous 52ft missile and there is no doubt that bin Laden died.

    What missile do we have that is 52 feet long? I think this report may have some accuracy issues.

    And how, exactly, do you measure an incoming supersonic missile that obliterates a cave...and itself?
