Is Osama dead?

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - Pakistan's president said he
believes Osama bin Laden is dead, the victim of kidney
failure during the U.S. bombing campaign against
Afghanistan, CNN said Friday.

``I think now, frankly, he is dead for the reason that he is
a patient, a kidney patient,'' President Pervez Musharraf
said in an interview, posted on CNN's Web site. ``We know
that he donated two dialysis machines into Afghanistan. One
was specifically for his own personal use.''

In Washington, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said
Friday that U.S. officials do not know whether bin Laden has
died, but added, ``I don't think the president would view
that as an unwelcome event.''

However, U.S. intelligence has some evidence that bin Laden
survived the destruction of many of al-Qaida's camps and
caves, officials said, declining to elaborate. The United
States hopes prisoner interrogations and other newfound
intelligence sources will warm up the trail to bin Laden.

Bin Laden has long been rumored to be suffering from several
illnesses, including kidney and heart trouble. None of the
ailments have been confirmed.

The 44-year-old terror suspect last appeared in a videotape
broadcast Dec. 26, during which he praised the perpetrators
of the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the United States. Bin
Laden looked pale and gaunt on the tape.

``I don't know if he has been getting all that treatment in
Afghanistan now,'' Musharraf said of bin Laden. ``And the
photographs that have been shown of him on television show
him extremely weak.''

Musharraf did not indicate whether he had intelligence
reports to back up his suspicions. And if bin Laden is
alive, Musharraf said be believes he is in Afghanistan.

Last month, Musharraf told Chinese television there was a
``great possibility'' that bin Laden was dead. He suggested
that bin Laden could have been killed in the U.S. bombing of
the Tora Bora region of in eastern Afghanistan.

A search of the area by U.S. special forces turned up no
trace of bin Laden.

President Bush launched airstrikes against Afghanistan on
Oct. 7 after the Taliban refused to surrender bin Laden.
Despite the collapse of the Taliban last month, the U.S.-led
coalition has been unable to find bin Laden.
