NBC said he was killed earlier this week by a US bomb and they have held the body for DNA testing for confirmation.

I won't believe it until they show his long form death certificate. ;)

You and apparently a lot of islamists, if CNN is to be believed.

CBS is saying he was shot by the CIA who found him with help from a drone.

So different reports from different media.

Great coverage on CBS with Bob Orr, Justice and Homeland Security correspondent for CBS News. Bob was a reporter and anchor for WBNS TV, the CBS affiliate in Columbus, Ohio (1978-85 and 1988-93).

Glad I'm not the only one old enough to remember when Bob Orr was a local guy. Got his network break reporting on the Lucasville riot.

8 month tip run down, and then he gives the go ahead for a operation last week.

ETA: Who is CBS getting their info from, the WH secretary?

I can only hope that the better reviews will be nudged toward the top. Some are definite keepers.

Dang, go to google news and select him as a topic, then just read the headlines for all the different things happening.

Did I hear correctly on the news this morning that he was killed and they held a funeral at sea for him? Surely they wouldn't have dumped his body so soon, but my radio has no rewind button...
