Saudi Arabia confirms Bin Laden story is a hoax - where did it originate from?

How much Pakisran and Saudi intelligence officers involved in circulating the hoax?

International think tanks are digging deep into the ground to find how the French intelligence officials were fooled to believe that. It has serious implications. If it is that easy to spread rumors through Western intelligence officers, then terrorists can have upper hand in disseminating false information.

Some internqational security analysts believe all of it was set up by Pakistan's ISI with help of Saudi intelligence.

Time magazine separately posted an article on its website citing an unidentified Saudi source, who claimed bin Laden was stricken with a water-borne disease and may already be dead.

A U S intelligence source said Washington, which wants to capture bin Laden, had no evidence the report was any more credible than earlier rumours of his death.

"We''ve heard these things before and have no reason to think this is any different," said the U S intelligence official, who asked not to be named.

According to media reports, L''Est Republicain, published in Nancy, printed what it said was a copy of the report, dated September 21, and said it was passed to Chirac and Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin the same day.

"According to a usually reliable source, the Saudi services are now convinced that Osama bin Laden is dead," it read.

"The information gathered by the Saudis indicates that the head of al Qaeda fell victim, while he was in Pakistan on August 23, 2006 to a very serious case of typhoid that led to a partial paralysis of his internal organs."
