A report from a French intelligence service that Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden had died in Pakistan last month was met with scepticism in Islamabad Saturday. The private Geo television channel quoted unnamed officials here as saying no such information was shared with the Pakistan government. They were referring to a document drawn up by the French DGSE intelligence service and made public Saturday, saying that bin Laden had died of typhoid. The document had cited a "usually reliable source" as saying that Saudi intelligence services had acquired information that the Al Qaeda leader had died in Pakistan on Aug 23, 2006. Arab journalists based in Islamabad expressed their doubts about the report, holding the view that if bin Laden had died, then Al Qaeda itself would have announced it, as it did when he was wounded in skirmishes in Afghanistan in 2001.
