Did latest Wikileaks revelations force U.S. to take out Bin Laden?
Wikileaks may have triggered the killing of Osama Bin Laden, it was suggested last night.
For although the CIA has thought since September that he was in hiding in Abbottabad, special forces stormed his fortress only days after the website published new secret documents.
These made reference to named 'couriers’ carrying Bin Laden’s message to his followers, and also to Abbottabad as a possible Al Qaeda bolthole.
America has already revealed that it was led to Bin Laden by tracking a man identified as his key courier.
When that courier was found in Abbottabad, the CIA began surveillance that led to the raid.
As a result, last night it was suggested the operation had to be launched before Bin Laden knew the game was up.
The theory is based on a leaked U.S. Defence Department assessment of Guantanamo Bay prisoner Abu Faraj al-Libi, 40.
The assessment, currently available on the internet, was among information first released to newspapers including the Guardian and the Telegraph, and identifies al-Libi as an operational chief of Al Qaeda, and long-term close associate of Bin Laden
.
After working at the centre of the terror network in Afghanistan for more than a decade, al-Libi fled to Pakistan following the Allied conquest of Kabul in November 2001.
The top secret document claims: 'In July 2003 In July 2003, al-Libi received a letter from Osama Bin Laden’s designated courier, Maulawi Abd al-Khaliq Jan, requesting detainee take on the responsibility of collecting donations, organizing travel, and distributing funds to families in Pakistan.
'Osama Bin Laden stated al-Libi would be the official messenger between Bin Laden and others in Pakistan.
'In mid-2003, al-Libi moved his family to Abbottabad, and worked between Abbottabad and Peshawar.’
Al-Libi remained living in Abbottabad until 2004, the document continues, before moving within Pakistan and eventually being captured by Pakistani special forces the following year. He was then handed to the Americans, who continue to detain him to this day.
Although the document does not suggest Bin Laden has hidden in Abbottabad, it clearly identifies the city as known to the Americans as a possible Al Qaeda leadership bolthole, and identifies by name several couriers.
It is not yet clear whether the named couriers are those who did indeed lead the CIA to Bin Laden – but even so the document could have provided evidence for Al Qaeda that the net was closing in.
US diplomatic memos about corruption in the Middle-East, published by Wikileaks, have been linked to the violent uprisings across the region.
The document in the current controversy also says al-Libi is a senior Al Qaida member who as well as long years fighting in Afghanistan – he went on Al Jazeera and 'bragged he killed approximately 100 Americans in Afghanistan in 200’ - also helped control anti-American attacks in Iraq, and claimed to have 50 suicide bombers waiting for martyrdom.
As well as claims that al-Libi headed an operation to hide remote control bombs in children’s Sega computer games, the document also features the chilling suggestion that if Bin Laden was killed, Al Qaeda planned to detonate a nuclear bomb in its possession – a bomb said to be kept in Europe.
Wikileaks, headed by Julian Assange, has faced attacks from around the world, particularly America, for its publication of leaked secret documents.

China says Pakistan killed OBL, US swooped in to take the body.

The only certainty I see in this event is that it didn't go down the way the Ministry of Truth is portraying it from Washington.
No body, other sources claiming he's been dead for ten years, et cetera.
Nice political distraction.
