Osama alive or dead?

Is Osama Bin Laden dead or alive? Some French think he is dead, the Americans would not commit on it in spite of its vast intelligence operations and network, and the Muslim world are one in insisting that he is alive.

When somebody doesn't appear in public, alive, for 5 years, his living existence is suspect. In another two years, the law will consider him missing and presumed dead.

Videos and audios can all be faked.

Period.
