RIP Bin Laden? - The

RIP Bin Laden? - The London Daily Mirror is carrying an Arab (United Arab Emirates) report that Bin Laden was killed on December 10 by an American cave-buster bomb during the intensive raids on Tora Bora.

The Mirror quotes the UAE's Al Bayan newspaper:

Yes, Osama bin Laden is dead but the Jihad will continue until Judgement Day'', quotes witness Shahid Ayan saying he perished on December 10, 2001.

He said: "On the 24th night of Ramadan (Dec 10) and at a late hour, there were some scary explosions in the place where Osama bin Laden's cave was.

"The cave was completely erased from the ground and became nothing. This was the only cave of the 15 that was destroyed by an enormous 52ft missile and there is no doubt that bin Laden died.''

Many questions still remain. Do we actually have any "52-foot-long missiles" that bust caves? Your feedback is appreciated.
