REUTERS: In the aftermath of President Obama claiming to have finally found and killed notorious Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, Donald Trump has called for more proof that the terrorist is, in fact, dead.
"Sure, Obama says he has the body in his possession, but where's the long-form Death Certificate?" asked the potential 2012 Republican candidate.
Trump has pointed out the long-running rumours that bin Laden had been hiding in Afghanistan, when the US claims to have killed him in Pakistan.

The reality TV stalwart also cites conflicting reports - over whether bin Laden was killed in a compound, or a mansion, as first reported.
"I am saying I want to see the death certificate. It's very simple. How come Obama's own operatives don't know what kind of building bin Laden was killed in? How come -- forget about death certificates. Let's say there is no death certificate. How come in the compound itself, okay? In the compound itself, there's no records of his death. In other words, it doesn't say how much they paid, where is the shooter, here's your room bill."
Critics of Trump have called him racist, accusing him of only asking for a Death Certificate because bin Laden is an Arab, and that no white terrorist has ever come under such scrutiny.
"Put it this way, he's never asked for Timothy McVeigh's Death Certificate," said one source.
