How does a top official of a powerful state end rumours of his death?
Easy.
Show your face in public and talk to the press.
Saudi Arabia's Prince Bandar, who has been reported dead by a couple of news agencies, has not shown his face in public.
Meanwhile, Russian general Vladimir Petrovich Kuzheyev, who was reported dead by Syria's foolish foreign-backed terrorists, talked to reporters in Moscow on Wednesday. He put an end to rumours of his death.
