WASHINGTON: The United States has no information that Osama bin Laden has died despite his continuing silence, the White House said Wednesday after the broadcast of a new message from al-Qaeda's number two."I'd have to refer you to the intelligence community for that. I don't believe that we have any intelligence that suggests that he is not living," said spokeswoman Dana Perino.She had been asked whether the new message from Ayman Zawahiri raised any new questions about the fate of the terrorist network's number one.Perino dismissed Zawahiri's verbal broadside against US president-elect Barack Obama as "more despicable and pathetic comments by al-Qaeda terrorists."Zawahiri, in an Internet audio message released on Wednesday, ridiculed Obama as a "house negro" and warned him against sending more troops to Afghanistan."I think that the comments that al-Qaeda makes are totally irrational. They attack everything and anything that is American. And so they just look for targets of opportunity, both verbally and physically, and that's why we have to stop them," said Perino.
