Looks like reports of his death have been exaggerated - again.

U.S. authorities have not even seen neither body of the al-Qaida chief nor Islamic State head, the Chief military spokesman said Thursday.

U.S. Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said the military had been conducting numerous operations against al-Qaida in Iraq over the last six days and he believed that had led to reports that Abu Omar al-Baghdadi and Abu Ayyub al-Masri had been killed in fighting.

He said the confusion apparently stemmed from the killing of another senior al-Qaida leader and a close associate of al-Masri, Muharib Abdul-Latif al-Jubouri, who had been linked to several high-profile kidnappings of Americans and other foreigners.

The comments came after the Iraqi Interior Ministry said Thursday that al-Baghdadi had been killed and showed pictures of what it said was his body. On Tuesday, officials reported that al-Masri, had been killed by rivals north of Baghdad but the body has not been recovered.

Regarding al-Masri, Caldwell said "we in fact do not have in our possession nor do we know of anybody that has anybody or person at this time that we think is him."

Ah well. Mark, I see you're imagining Bin Laden dead. Anyone have any other terrorists to add to the list?

There's no proof of anything. However, the fact remains that we haven't heard from him for about 15 months or more.
