The French article alleges that Osama Ben Laden died of typhoid fever and this indicates that the perp was living in a much befouled area. Plus, had no one knowledgeable enough to properly prepare his food or drink for safe consumption. On the face of it, a long hard journey from penthouse to outhouse is suggested.
Typhoid is born of fecal contaminated food or water or via fluids from some decaying cadaver contaminating the water source and is a very nasty way to go out. And it would be very rare for typhoid to take just one, usually it comes in the form of an epidemic.
Ben Laden?s very presence creates cadavers in great numbers and there is no such thing as proper sanitation facilities or meaningful education in that particular area, so anything is possible. But I think the Russian Pres., Puten, called it as it is, a ?Ruse Du Guerre?, or I?d reckon some inventive Saudi story making being cooked up.
But we can still hope for the best, but expect to be disappointed.
