What kind of evidence do you have?

Also the fact that his recent 'yearly videos' do not contain any new footage of the man. Experts in the EU have declared the videos 'fake' so the CIA stopped sending them the videos for analysis.

If anyone remember, his death was announced by an Egyptian newspaper in late 2001. Since then, all published "Osama messages" were fake: he even was obviously younger in the latest videos. This guy was very sick and needed regular dialysis; staying alive for ten years while hiding away would have been tremendously difficult. So yes, I'm with you : unless they release some serious evidence, I'll stay suspicious.

What do you want? A death certificate?

DNA Matching with his sons.

The only problem here is that he has supposedly been thrown in the ocean to prevent anyone from trying to recover his body. However, I must admit that I would also like some form of proof as well.
