PREFACE: Is Fox News an organization that (with all its global rescources) could make a huge blunder like this may indicate? Or may there be more to this story, and why wasn’t it pulled from their site?
Published December 26, 2001 on FoxNews.com – Usama bin Laden has died a peaceful death due to an untreated lung complication, the Pakistan Observer reported, citing a Taliban leader who allegedly attended the funeral of the Al Qaeda leader.
“The Coalition troops are engaged in a mad search operation but they would never be able to fulfill their cherished goal of getting Usama alive or dead,” the source said.
Bin Laden, according to the source, was suffering from a serious lung complication and succumbed to the disease in mid-December, in the vicinity of the Tora Bora mountains. The source claimed that bin Laden was laid to rest honorably in his last abode and his grave was made as per his Wahabi belief.
About 30 close associates of bin Laden in Al Qaeda, including his most trusted and personal bodyguards, his family members and some “Taliban friends,” attended the funeral rites. A volley of bullets was also fired to pay final tribute to the “great leader.”
The Taliban source who claims to have seen bin Laden’s face before burial said “he looked pale … but calm, relaxed and confident.”
Asked whether bin Laden had any feelings of remorse before death, the source vehemently said “no.” Instead, he said, bin Laden was proud that he succeeded in his mission of igniting awareness amongst Muslims about hegemonistic designs and conspiracies of “pagans” against Islam. Bin Laden, he said, held the view that the sacrifice of a few hundred people in Afghanistan was nothing, as those who laid their lives in creating an atmosphere of resistance will be adequately rewarded by Almighty Allah.
When asked where bin Laden was buried, the source said, “I am sure that like other places in Tora Bora, that particular place too must have vanished.”

the article, It was retracted…wasn’t it???
Will not be taken down BC they know it’s a Lie & who is responsible, (but cannot Publish it), 4 fear of reprisals. Osama = Obama. Superimpose one Pic on 2 the Others. C The Match-up?
I don’t believe Fox lied, & Obama wasn’t Pres in 2001, it wouldn’t have benefited him. (I HATE BHO) I vaguely remember the story & they reported something w/o confirmation. So that’s probably why it was taken down. As for whether or not he’s dead…who benefits if he is? Not Obama, sure for the election, but after that, who benefits? No, I think he’s still alive, they wouldn’t send his son to Gitmo, that’s why I think. You haven’t heard anything more about that story either…just that the son “gave up” a lot of key info. BULLSHIT. Obama get money to push his “think tank (Organization For Action) hell, they made 6.4 million last month. Where did that cash come from?
OFA, that’s reality folks. It was OFAmerica, but he hates America, so BHO changed the name. Pretty telling, don’t you think. He’s re-making America alright. Into a country with a bread & soup line in every county.
Since there was NO BODY and since 1/2 the original Seal Team 6 have died mysteriously I say it was ALL FAKED!
Adolf Obama is a liar and a fraud that covered up the real death until he could set up his “I’m a hero” stage show.
