'"Bin Laden dead" claim dismissed', report 'This Is London':
Claims that terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden may have died of kidney failure have been dismissed by the US general leading the hunt for him.
Responding to comments by Pakistan's president Pervez Musharraf, General Tommy Franks, commander in chief of US Central Command, said nothing in his intelligence reports confirmed or denied the theory.
President Musharraf suggested on Friday that the US bombing campaign against Afghanistan may have cut off the al-Qaida leader's access to vital treatment.
In London, the Foreign Office said it was aware of the Pakistani leader's comments, but was not in a position to confirm the claims.
Speaking in the Pakistani capital Islamabad, President Musharraf told CNN: "I think now, frankly, he is dead for the reason that he is a patient, a kidney patient.
"We know that he donated two dialysis machines into Afghanistan. One was specifically for his own personal use."
President Musharraf did not indicate whether he had intelligence reports to back up his suspicions.
In Washington, officials said they had no evidence that Bin Laden had severe kidney problems, much less had died of them.
And Tommy Franks, commander of US forces in Afghanistan, said he was aware of President Musharraf's statement, but added: "I haven't seen anything in intelligence that would confirm or deny that."
White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said US officials did not know whether Bin Laden had died, but added: "I don't think the President (George Bush) would view that as an unwelcome event."
I think Bin Laden is dead, but we will all find out soon. What do you think?
