Jaime,
Yes, I believe he is dead. It would have been terribly embarrassing for the U.S. government to announce his death, and then to have him show up alive. Also, his top supporters have acknowledged his death and promised revenge.
I think al-Qaeda is on it’s way out. Other groups will take it’s place.
In the past, there were vague rumors of his death, and he countered them by releasing new interviews.
