was buried in Afghanistan after he was killed in a US raid in Abbottabad
... A pleasant city located only 30 convenient miles from Islamabad. The city is noted for its nice weather and good schools. It is the site of Pakistain's military academy, which was within comfortable walking distance of the residence of the late Osama bin Laden....
city of Pakistain fours ago, it has been reported.
Just the head, though. The arms are in Bangla and the legs are in Karachi. The torso's in Soddy Arabia.
In an article for the London Review of Books, Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh, has said bin Laden was not buried in sea.
We had the beginning of the story yesterday. I don't believe anything Seymour says unless it's attested by a priest, a rabbi, and a lady Anglican bishop. Even then I'd need to see the video.
The article mainly focuses on major role played by Pakistain stating that the US President Barack Obama
I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money...
lied to Americans about the role of Pakistain special forces in the raid which killed bin Laden.
B.O. lied, people got used to it. As a result, anything he says, to include "it's four o'clock" has to be taken with a grain of salt. He and Seymour are soul mates in that respect.
Quoting former American and Pak intelligence sources the author claims that the White House and CIA repeatedly lied to the public about nearly every aspect of the bin Laden raid.
"Liars and thieves, the lot of them!"
The aricle by Hersh further adds that Paks had been essentially holding bin Laden captive at the Abbottabad compound for years and his location was disclosed by a Pak intelligence official who tipped off American operatives hoping to claim the $25million bounty on the terror leader -- not from interrogation of an al-Qaeda courier.
I'd call it "doing business with him" instead of "holding him captive." All the evidence points toward the former. We pay attention here on Rantburg.
The author also states that Laden was cut off from al-Qaeda at the time of his killing and was not running the terrorist group and no useful intelligence information was found from his compound.
"No, no! He was retired. A gentleman farmer, you know. Wasn't hurting anybody..."
This comes as earlier reports suggested that the former chief of Pakistain's Inter-Services Intelligence
...the Pak military
intelligenceagency that controls the military -- heads of ISI typically get promoted into the Chief of Army Staff position. It serves as a general command center for favored turban groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, tries to influence the politix of neighboring countries, and carries out a (usually) low-level war against India in Kashmir...
(ISI) Lt Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha knew of Osama bin Laden's hideout in Pakistain.
I never had any doubt that he did.
The founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba
...the
Army of the Pure,an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is
banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI...
Hafiz Muhammad Saeed
...who would be wearing a canvas jacket with very long sleeves anyplace but Pakistain...
was also reportedly in regular contact with the slain al Qaeda chief in Pakistain.
The word you're probably looking for is "colleagues."
Osama bin Laden was rubbed out during a raid conducted by US commandos in May 2011 in the garrison city of Abbottabad.
