This topic was discussed on World Have Your Say on 3 May 2011. Listen to the programme.

Since we heard the news of Osama bin Laden's death, speculation around the circumstances has been rife, with many people refusing to believe that he is actually dead.

Some feel their questions are going unanswered.

Osibox tweeted

How could Pakistani authorities not know that bin Laden was hiding there?

This person is sceptical about the whole event:

I'm a Pakistani citizen and honestly it doesn't matter if he is dead or not, lost or found. The only thing making sense is that this is absolute nonsense!

But, not everyone is as prone to doubt:

Mary in the US writes on Facebook

President Obama is a smart man, he would not say OBL was dead unless he was 100% certain. It would ruin his career.

Lots of you have been asking to see photos of bin Laden's body just to be sure.

The US news network ABC says that it has heard from a top source that President Obama is discussing the reality of this in order to put to rest any doubts.

Would that be enough? If you don't believe bin Laden is dead, what would change your mind?

We'll be talking about exactly what it is that we do and don't know and hearing from people around the world about why they do or don't believe what they've heard.

You can post your comments here, we'd love to hear from you.
