Interior Minister Rehman Malik believes that the US had a mole right inside Osama bin Laden’s Abbottabad hideout which enabled it to track the al Qaeda chief, reported The Economic Times while quoting a media report. Although the top US officials say they were only partially certain of Osama’s presence inside the mansion, but Malik said only some definitive information could have led them right to the room where bin Laden was killed.
The report also says that bin Laden’s Saudi wives think that it was his younger Yemeni wife, Amal, who betrayed him, either by supplying information or by allowing herself to be tracked to the compound.
“In my experience of years as an intelligence officer, I think someone from inside may have given information,” said Malik. “If the Americans didn’t have definitive information, they couldn’t have gone straight to the room where bin Laden was,” he was quoted as saying by a newspaper. It also said that the al-Qaeda leader had fathered twins from his Yemeni wife while in hiding in his high-walled mansion in Abbottabad.
A pocket guide carried by the US Navy SEALs who killed Osama, suggests bin Laden had fathered twins in captivity referring to the unidentified children born this year to wife Amal, 28. The document left behind in the compound lists the names and ages of those who were present, including bin Laden’s wives, children and grandchildren. It also details where they lived in the compound and when some of them arrived. The document, which is believed to have been carried by all the SEALs on the mission, indicates that the US intelligence was certain of his presence.
