Osama bin Laden spent his last days sidelined by al Qaeda and slipping into dementia, possibly betrayed to the Americans by a jealous wife and his own deputy, a Pakistani investigator says.
Retired brigadier Shaukat Qadir says he spent eight months investigating the al Qaeda chief’s life in Pakistan, using his army connections to visit the villa where he lived and died, and securing access to confidential documents.
He says he spoke to Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agents who interrogated bin Laden’s wives and saw their interview transcripts.
He has no evidence, but offers a tantalising image of a frail man resigned to death and betrayed through one of his wives in an al Qaeda plot – which if true would shed new light on the demise of the world’s most-wanted man.
“Al Qaeda decided to retire him in 2003. He was going mentally senile. From 2001, he had some kind of degenerative disease and was coming up with fantasies,” Qadir said.
He says his theories are his alone, but admits he may have been manipulated by the army and acknowledges that his account suits the ISI, which is still fending off suspicions of incompetence or complicity in sheltering bin Laden.
Qadir says his investigation took him to the lawless tribal belt on the Afghan border, al Qaeda’s chief sanctuary for the past 10 years, where he served during his time in the army before his retirement in 1998.
Ayman al-Zawahiri, the Egyptian doctor often considered the real brains behind al Qaeda, “got fed up and decided to sideline” bin Laden when the leader started losing his mental faculties after the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Qadir says bin Laden moved frequently between hiding places in northwest Pakistan before al Qaeda decided Abbottabad was the perfect spot and built a home shielded by a towering wall for him, two of his wives and their children.
Bin Laden moved into a bedroom on the third floor with his youngest and reputedly favourite wife, Amal Abdulfattah, the Yemeni he married in 1999 and who gave birth to two children in Abbottabad.
For years, Qadir believes, the family got on well, but things changed in March 2011 when bin Laden’s older Saudi wife, Khairia, suddenly turned up for the first time since the family was separated in late 2001.
At that time, she had fled Afghanistan into Iran, rather than into Pakistan with the rest of the family.
Qadir says the Iranians released her in late 2010 and she returned to her husband, but first, spent several months in an al Qaeda camp in Afghanistan.
Two months after she arrived, the Americans raided the house. Qadir is convinced that Khairia betrayed her husband.
“Everything began to happen when Khairia arrived,” he said. “Everybody had a problem with her. Before, the two other wives were living comfortably.”
Bin Laden’s grown-up son, Khalid, born to another Saudi wife, was also suspicious, Qadir said. “He kept on asking her ‘why have you come? What do you want from him?’ She just responded ‘I have one more duty to perform for my husband’.
“Khalid told his dad: ‘I suspect she’s going to betray you.’ Bin Laden answered ‘so be it’.” Bin Laden tried to persuade the other wives to leave for their own safety, but they refused, Qadir said. The United States says it was tipped off much earlier by an al Qaeda courier. But Qadir contradicts that, stating that Zawahiri may have used Khairia as bait for the Americans.
The Americans managed to intercept one of Khairia’s phone calls, leading them to believe bin Laden was in the compound, he thinks, adding that Bin Laden’s long-serving Egyptian deputy was consumed by personal ambition.
IT SEEMS A FABRICATED STORY TO JUSTIFY OSAMA’S DEATH. BECAUSE IF YOU ALL REMEMBER CIA CONFIRMED HIS DEATH IN 2005 AND THEN PRESIDENT MUSHARRAF ALSO CONFIRMED IT
ANOTHER HYPOTHESIS IS WITH MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING OF SAUDI , AFGHAN, PAKISTANI AND USA GOVERNMENTS (IRAN MAY BE ON BOARD ALSO) , TALIBAN LEADERSHIP AND OSAMA’S FAMILY. THE DEATH OF OSAMA WAS ANNOUNCED.A MOVE TO END THE ON GOING CONFLICT IN AFGHANISTAN.NOW BOTH USA AND TALIBAN ARE ON THE TABLE TO SETTLE THE ISSU
ALSO YOU MUST KEEP INMIND THAT STRANGELY AL-QAEDA TOP LEADERSHIP HAS GONE TO EITHER YEMEN OR AFRICA, USA MONITORING EACH ANT ON EARTH BUT WHY THESE PEOPLE SO EASILY LEFT, ALSO AFTER OSAMA’S DEATH US-TALIBAN TALKS INITIATED.SIMPLY BECAUSE USA IS TIRED AND ON DECLINE WHEREAS TALIBANS ARE NO DOUBT VERY STRONG BUT STILL A FREEDOM MOVEMENT AND THEY ARE UNDER PRESSURE FROM THEIR FOREIGN SUPPORTERS (PAK,SAUDIS AND SOME PEOPLE REPORT RUSSIA ALSO A SUPPORTER).
OSAMA, AS PASS ON TO US, WAS A CLEVER AND WISE MAN. BUT HOW HE COULD COMMIT SUICIDAL MISTAKE, BY ALLOWING HIS ELDEST WIFE TO JOIN HIM IN “TOP SECRET HIDE OUT” IN PAKISTAN. SINCE THAT WOMAN REMAINED IN IRANIAN CAPTIVITY FOR NEARLY TEN YEARS. IF SHE WAS NOT AN AGENT THEN SHE WAS WELL KNOWN TO CIA, ISI, MOSSAD, IRANIANS AND SAUDIS ETC. AND EVERY INTELLIGENCE OPERATOR WAS KEENLY OBSERVING HER . TOTALLY A SUICIDAL ACT FROM A ‘MOST WANTED PERSON OF HISTORY EVER’
ANOTHER IMPORTANT POINT TO PONDER IS; WHY AL-QAEDA HAS NOT YET PRODUCED ANY ACT ‘REVENGE’ OF HIS FOUNDING FATHER .
SO THE DEATH OF OSAMA HAS OPENED NEW AVENUES IN THIS REGION. USA IS READY FOR WITHDRAWAL, TALIBAN DECLARE “NOT TO ALLOW ANYONE TO USE AFGHAN SOIL FOR TERROR” AND AL-QAEDA HAS TRANSFERRED ITS CENTRE OF GRAVITY FROM AFGHANISTAN TO AFRICA. AGAIN AMAZINGLY AL-QAEDA HAS GIVEN A “WALK OVER” TO THE SAUDIS AND “WORLD BROTHEL” DUBAI OR OTHER SUCH AMERICAN SATELLITE PRINCELY STATES OF GULF. ALSO COMPLETE SILENCE ON AL-QAEDA’S FOR SHIA IRANIAN REGIME. ONE CAN THINK ON THESE LINES TO UNDERSTAND MANY THINGS
Drama…!!
So lets cross reference osama…but he is dead.
what does we conclude from that ?
Bewee Aik Ho or Naik ho or bachacy 2.
:))))
excellent work Shaukat Qadir…..Aiman Al Zawahiri was ambitious from his Ismalic Jihad days…and splintered from MB…he is an Assasin…and had a hand in killing of Anwar Sadat..He also Al Zawahi killed Abdullah Azam in Peshawar to take over Al Qaeda. Now he ultimately got rid of OBL The rise of Parbakhran of Tamel Tiger is also similar to Al Zawahiri as he also got killed all other group leaders to become defacto chief of Tamils.
There is a French proverb– In wine and women there is always truth!
