I heard a report on the radio today (I was half paying attention so i don't know who said it...sorry) The report said they thought they were still alive and in hiding somewhere.
That wouldn't surprise me at all...I figured the report that he was in that house when it was bombed was just too convenient. I figured it was all a set up to let us think we killed him! I won't believe he's dead until I see a confirmation of his DNA from a dead body!
