This is a question Winning

I once won a gas boiler from The Guardian. Tell us about times you've won, and the excellent and/or crappy prizes you've lifted.

I didn't realise they sent in his dentist, his brother and a fingerprint expert.
Was good that they sent in a few French experts too and some Danes.
Or, perhaps, they just sent in people who are paid to kill for the US and say what they're told?
Heck, this isn't any kind of tinfoil hat or the like but just basic scepticism -- if Manchester United told you they'd beaten Newcastle but the only people there were the teams and Newcastle weren't available for comment, would you believe them?

So why did they wait ten years before deciding to lie about finding and killing him?

No idea, and it is odd.
But they seem to have gone to great lengths to make sure that nobody can prove they killed him -- which is even odder.
They didn't have to hand the body over to Al Jazeera so they could, rightly or wrongly, start questioning whether it really was him -- but to not even give it to a more neutral ally for complete analysis just makes them either liars or incompetent. Either way I'm not sure why anyone would take their word for it.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories and the tin-foil-hat brigade....
But I guess the most I could believe is that he died of natural causes at some point and intelligence has only just been able to confirm it for certain - but as that seems a bit anti-climatic they've had to stage a raid and quickly "dispose" of the body to maintain an air of "AMERICA... FUCK YEAH!!!!" about it and somehow justify the thousands of lives and trillions of dollars. Not saying I do believe that, but if there were a conspiracy, I doubt it would be any more sinister than that.
