 Osama bin Laden  | |
|---|---|
| Founder of | Al-Qaeda |
| Member of | Bin Laden family, Donald Trump/Conspiracy theories |
| Interest of | Suzanne Jovin |
Born in Saudi Arabia, Osama bin Laden was announced as "the world's most wanted terrorist" by USA rather suddenly.
Contents
Official Narrative
Wikipedia reports that Osama bin Laden was "founder of al-Qaeda, the Sunni militant Islamist organization that claimed responsibility for the September 11 attacks on the United States, along with numerous other mass-casualty attacks against civilian and military targets".
Killing
Bin Laden was reportedly murdered on 2 May, 2011 by Seal Team 6, US special forces in a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, by what was called "a kill operation". The US government has denied FOIA requests about the killing and has not provided any physical evidence. Allegedly, his body was quickly buried at sea and no pictures were released.
Gaps
The official narrative prefers not to talk about the CIA's links with bin Laden. Wikipedia reports that "It has been claimed that the CIA had ties with Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda".
Problems
The official narrative stretches credibility beyond breaking point as far as bin Laden's planning capabilities as regards 9/11, such as his abilities to arrange innumerable improbable coincidences such as the lack of US air defence, simultaneous exercises, and the destruction of steel reinforced sky scrapers by fire.
Destruction of Evidence
Admiral William McRaven was head of the Special Operations Command for the raid that allegedly killed Bin Laden. He purged his command’s computers and file cabinets of all records on the raid and sent any remaining copies over to the CIA where they are effectively immune from the FOIA, and then masterminded a “no records” response to the Associated Press when the AP reporters filed FOIA requests for raid-related materials and photos. If not for a one-sentence mention in a leaked draft inspector general report — which the IG deleted for the final version — no one would have been the wiser about McRaven’s shell game. Subsequently, a FOIA lawsuit by Judicial Watch uncovered the sole remaining e-mail from McRaven ordering the evidence destruction, in apparent violation of federal records laws, a felony for which the Admiral seems to have paid no price. According to the Pentagon, this was done to protect the identities of the Navy SEALs involved in the raid.[1][2]
Seal Team 6
22 Navy SEALs, most of whom belonged to Team 6, allegedly responsible for the raid, were reported dead in 2011 after their helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan.[3] Seal Team 6 members have apparently experienced an unusually high death rate since the alleged raid.[4][5][6][7][8]
Alternative account
Only one member of Seal Team 6, Matt Bissonnette, has published an account of what happened. This tells a totally different story than was first described to the public. According to Bissonnette, Bin Laden was not only unarmed as first reported, he did not pose a threat and did not use his wife or some other lady as a human shield.[9]
Possibility of earlier death
On 2 November 2007, former Pakistani Prime Minister for 12 years, Benazir Bhutto mentioned in an interview with David Frost on Al Jazeera that Osama Bin Laden had been murdered by Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh. Frost did not inquire further.

| Document:The struggle against terrorism cannot be won by military means | article | 8 July 2005 | Robin Cook | Bin Laden was, though, a product of a monumental miscalculation by western security agencies. Throughout the 80s he was armed by the CIA and funded by the Saudis to wage jihad against the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. Inexplicably, and with disastrous consequences, it never appears to have occurred to Washington that once Russia was out of the way, Bin Laden's organisation would turn its attention to the west. |
| Document:We are the war criminals now | Article | 29 November 2001 | Robert Fisk | George W. Bush says that "you are either for us or against us" in the war for civilisation against evil. Well, I'm sure not for bin Laden. But I'm not for Bush. I'm actively against the brutal, cynical, lying "war of civilisation" that he has begun so mendaciously in our name and which has now cost as many lives as the World Trade Center mass murder. |
