Spain Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 There's been a number of reports lately claiming he's dead (from Arab & Syrian media), and all featuring a similar timeline / story. I'm not sure if we can take it as proper confirmation yet, but then we may never get proper confirmation. Thoughts on a postcard. I guess if Russia "are investigating" then they'll give an answer at some point and that will be reported. I hope so anyway, he's on my list!

Karpaty Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Didn't the British report it last week? I'm positive I read about it and not from a Russian source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that was about how the Syrian Government was claiming it, but everyone was sceptical that it wasn't just a propoganda stunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think they did but were somewhat ahead of the curve. This seams to have a bit more substance to it. I think it a couple of days there'll be confirmation one way or the other. Or this could all be a ruse to get IS head honchos to reveal their whereabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chomp my root Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 One for the slightly older but 'Not the 9 o'clock news' brought a book out and I think they had this picture with the caption.... "Now friends but once former enemies, one a tank commander tank commander in the Ardennes,and on the right, Helmut Kohl" ...or something like that. It tickled me at the time.
