Don't believe it. If true we would have found him through Twitter sooner.

He's still a no-good POS and he's still dead. It seems like there really was a treasure trove of intel obtained at Binny's love nest. His AQ buddies are dropping like flies regularly these days.

That was long ago, when he wasn't living in a self-made prison with an unhappy family, hag-ridden by -- as it turned out -- quite realistic paranoid fears.
Saudi Arabia signaled it's ready to deliver on a pledge to boost the supply of oil after the collapse of OPEC talks two days ago.
The world's largest oil exporter will increase production, though it's too early to say by how much, a Saudi industry official with knowledge of the matter who declined to be identified, said today. Al-Hayat, citing senior officials, reported earlier that the kingdom will boost output to 10 million barrels a day in July from the current 8.8 million. Oil fell as much as 3.3 percent, the most in three weeks.
Saudi Arabia "wants everyone to understand that they're serious," Olivier Jakob, an analyst at Petromatrix GmbH in Zug, Switzerland, said today by phone. "It's important that the Saudis are signaling that they're offering additional barrels."
The June 8 meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Export Countries broke down after six nations led by Iran opposed a Saudi plan to replace lost output from Libya and aid the U.S. economic recovery, Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi said on the day. The kingdom, along with Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, wanted to increase production by 1.5 million barrels a day. OPEC accounts for 40 percent of global supply. This is as much an attempt to hurt Iran's economy as it to alleviate the economic effects on the rest of the world and the US in particular.

...An interesting thought here is that we've been told for quite some time now that the Saudi reserves are actually less than they've been saying and that their production capacity is maxed out - yet they're saying they will ramp up production 1.2 BPD. What gives?...

Dr. Steve, the Saudis have been open about manipulating the market to persuade potential major producers not to get into the game, or to move seriously to alternatives that would make their export less necessary. That our current president Is willing for his own reasons to actively support their effort doesn't change that they've been doing this since the oil crisis back in the 70s.

Mike, the Saudis themselves spread those rumors on the side in order to increase the price of oil. They've got a lot of land they haven't properly explored to begin with, and a lot more that has produced that would be amenable to more modern means of production and workover.
They may be relatively low on the $ 10/bbl production cost oil, but then that means they'll have to move to the fields where it's $ 20/bbl. Which probably means something like $ 60/bbl profits instead of $ 70/bbl or something like that.

I seem to recall that the Saudis wanted to increase production to sell to India so India would stop buying from and selling refined crude to Iran - that would be a big thing.
[Bangla Daily Star] At least three people were killed during a "shootout" at the remote Naraichhari village of Dighinala upazila yesterday, sources said.
Police and locals said the shootout was between Parbatya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samiti (PCJSS) and United People's Democratic Front (UPDF).
Border Guard Bangladesh officials identified two of the three dead as Sargeswar Sharma and Shiro Chakma, both in their 30s.
Abdul Qader, officer-in-charge of Dighinala Police Station, said, "We are trying to gather the detailed information. A police team will be sent to the spot."
BGB officials referring to local sources said the victims were members of PCJSS led by Jyotirindra Bodhipriya Larma, better known as Santu Larma.
A group of UPDF members attacked the PCJSS men at a local bazar in the afternoon and then the firing ensued, locals said.
The incident came three weeks after four UPDF activists were killed in an attack by PCJSS men at Barkal of neighbouring Rangamati district.

[Al Jazeera] Spanish police have placed in durance vile three suspected members of the so-called Anonymous group on charges of cyber attacks against targets including Sony Corp's PlayStation Network, governments, businesses and banks.
Police on Friday alleged the three placed in durance vile 'hacktivists' had been involved in recent attacks on the Japanese electronics manufacturer, Spanish banks BBVA and Bankia and Italian energy group Enel SpA.
The arrests are the first in Spain against members of Anonymous following similar legal proceedings in the US and Britannia.
Police said all three men were Spanish and in their 30s. One worked in the merchant navy.
The suspected Anonymous members, who were placed in durance vile in Almeria, Barcelona and Alicante, were guilty of co-ordinated computer hacking attacks from a server set up in a house in Gijon in the north of Spain, the Spanish police said.
Sony Playstation hacked
Sony shocked gamers in late April by revealing that hackers had stolen personal information from the accounts of 77 million users of its online video-games network.
A week later, it said hackers had stolen data from another 25 million users of its computer games system.
Sony's PlayStation Network was crippled for a month as the company tried to find and fix the problem.
Anonymous, a loose grouping of activists which has carried out cyber attacks on organisations including Sony in the past, said at the time it was not responsible for those attacks and had no interest in stealing credit-card details.
Its members describe themselves as internet freedom fighters and have previously brought down the websites of the Church of Scientology, Amazon, Mastercard and others they saw as hostile to WikiLeaks.
'Operation Turkey'
The group's current targets include the Turkish government, in a protest against internet censorship.
A string of Turkish government websites have been compromised by members of Anonymous, Turkish authorities said.
Access to Turkey's telecoms authority website, identified as a main target in the group's 'Operation Turkey' campaign against a planned new online filtering system, was blocked as planned at 1500GMT on Thursday.
In a posting on its official website, Anonymous issued a statement pledging to fight what it said was internet censorship there.
The new filtering system, due to be implemented on August 22, mandates that all online users must sign up for one of four filters - domestic, family, children or standard.
