Oh man I hope he's stuck with 72 unfortunate looking virgins all suffering from some kind of female pattern baldness.

While it would have been better for him to stop being a douchebag, if true hopefully some other nut in the organization won't step up and paint him as a martyr and carry right on.

Now the media can talk about how he wasn't such a bad guy after all, and they can release 'Osama: This is It' in theaters.

From what I've gathered from the major news sites, he was killed by a bomb last week, and a DNA test confirmed it was him.
