Bin Laden is dead claim terrorists.

AL-QAIDA has told an United Arab Emirates newspaper that Osama bin Laden is dead, it was reported today.

The Al Bayan newspaper printed a statement allegedly from the terror group saying their leader was killed during the US bombing of the Tora Bora mountains in Afghanistan, the BBC reported.

But the statement reportedly said alQaida's Jihad (holy war) would continue until the Day of Judgement.

The claim could not be independently verified.

Earlier this week, an al-Qaida henchman appeared to have indicated that Bin Laden was dead.
