Pakistani officials and Arab journalists are skeptical too : Islamabad - A French report that al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden had died in August was met with scepticism in Pakistan on Saturday. In Islamabad, the private Geo television channel quoted unnamed officials as saying no such information was shared with the government of Pakistan. They were referring to a document drawn up by the French DGSE intelligence service and made public on Saturday alleges 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. 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.
