Bin Laden Dead?

Supposedly a French intelligence report leaked word that Osama Bin Laden may be dead. Or, to paraphrase Monty Python, "'E's passed on! He has ceased to be! He's expired and gone to meet his maker! He's a stiff! Bereft of life, He rests in peace! .... THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!" Maybe he knows where my hair dryer is?
