 (Caveat: Unconfirmed) China News Service and Yomiuri Report Osama and Omar Were Assassinated
Based on Japanese sources in Tokyo, news report (s) has been received that on October 16th, both the leader of Taliban Afghanistan Omar and the leader of AlQaida, Osama bin Laden, were both shot and killed in Afghanistan, by elements within their ranks.
Either it is true, partially true or it is false (disinformation or non-credible reports), but it deserves multiple independent confirmation, seeing as Yomiuri Shimbun carried it and Yomiuri is a large, reputable mainline daily Japanese news source.
My thought is why Yomiuri, a Japanese daily of respected stature, would run with this story.
