President Jacques Chirac said Saturday the information contained in a leaked intelligence document raising the possibility that Osama bin-Lanen may have died of typhoid in Pakistan last month is no way whatsoever confirmed.

Chirac said he was a bit surprised at the leak and has asked Defence Minister Michele Alliot-Marie to probe how a document from a French foreign intelligence service was published in the French press.

The regional newspaper Est Republican on Saturday printed what it described as a copy of a Confidential from the DGSE intelligence service citing an uncorroborated report from Saudi secret service that the leader of the alQaida terror network had died.

But of course Washington doubts the report
