The USA have confirmed he has been killed in a firefight.

I know it's highly, highly unlikely but I wonder if they tried to take him alive.

I wonder if it ever happened at all ..... It has now been announced that he was "Buried at Sea"?? ..... I feel an excuse to withdraw from Afganastane within a year ..... Which is great news but I don't believe he has been killed recently....(Conspiricy??)

It was good to hear that the Afghan tribal chiefs are pleased about the news. Many more Afghans have died because of him than Americans.I met an Afghan family who had to leave the country because the grandfather was a politician against him and they threatened to kill his whole family. The son is a doctor and had to leave in order to avoid retribution.

Why would they bury him at sea? Why would they not bring him back to the USA to show everyone that it is definitely him..?

Possibly so that there is no shrine for his followers to visit.

No I don't Colwyn. But that's a different question.

If the reports of a "burial" at sea are true, then that will be quite the most stupid thing America has done in a long time:(
