Bin Laden alive and well in Pakistan, and busy preparing the next attack on the U.S.

You can't believe all the news that's originated from Saudi sources, printed in French newspapers, and broadcast on major news outlets throughout the U. S., Canada, and Europe.
That's the word from Hamid Mir, Osama bin Laden's official biographer and the only journalist to interview the elusive al Qaeda emir in the wake of 9/11.

On Saturday, September 23, the French newspaper L'Est Republicain reported that Osama bin Laden had died in Pakistan. The cause of his death, according to the report, was a "very serious case of typhoid" which led to "paralysis of his internal organs." The newspaper, which claimed to have obtained the news from a credible Saudi source, said that the al Qaeda chieftain, who remains the most wanted man in the world, died on August 23.
In an exclusive release to Canada Free Press, and the Northeast Intelligence Network, Mr. Mir called the report "rubbish" and said that it represented "old wine in a new bottle," an apparent allusion to Congressman Curt Weldon's statement last March to The Philadelphia Inquirer that bin Laden had died in Iran.
Mir maintains that bin Laden is alive, well, and living in the lawless frontier of Pakistan. He says that the al Qaeda leader completed his plans for an "American Hiroshima" - - a nuclear attack on major metropolitan areas throughout the U. S. and has gained the approval of some Muslim scholars to kill millions of American civilians.
The delay of the attack, Mir says, may have been caused by bin Laden's desire to aid President George W. Bush in his 2004 bid for re-election. The emir, according to the Pakistani reporter, believes that the policies of the current administration serve to increase the political strength of his terrorist organization. Mir maintains that bin Laden's willingness to bolster the Bush campaign came with his release of a video statement shortly before American voters went to the polls.
Mir says that Adnan el Shukrijumah, the al Qaeda agent who has been singled out by bin Laden to commandeer the American Hiroshima, has been given orders "to increase the level and the scope" of the attack.
Last week, Abu Dawood, the leader of al Qaeda in Afghanistan, warned U. S. Muslims that they must leave the U. S. without further warning.
