A
former agent of the CIA has revealed that al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has
died of natural causes five years before the US announced his death.
In
an interview with Russia’s Channel One, Berkan Yashar, who is also a Turkish
politician, said the US has not killed the al-Qaeda leader.
“In
September of 1992, I was in Chechnya, that’s when I first met the man whose
name was Bin Laden. This meeting took place in a two-story house in the city of
Grozny; on the top floor was a family of Gamsakhurdia, the Georgian president,
who then was kicked out of his country. We met on the bottom floor; Osama lived
in the same building,” Yashar said.
According
to the former CIA agent, he personally knew Bin Laden’s three Chechen
bodyguards, who had protected him until his death and witnessed his death on
June 26, 2006.
“Even
if the entire world believed, I could not possibly believe it,” Yashar said. “I
personally know the Chechens who protected him, they are Sami, Mahmood, and
Ayub, and they were with him until the very end.”
“Only
three Chechens buried him, according to his will” in the mountains on the
Pakistan-Afghan border, he said.
Yashar
added that the CIA abducted one of the bodyguards, Sami, before the announced
killing of Bin Laden last year.
He
says the bodyguard disclosed to the US the exact place of burial in the
mountains.
“There
was no assault. I know the American operations from the inside: they find the
grave, dig out bin Laden and tell everyone about this. They need to show how
technologically the security services worked, how each step was controlled, and
then present it as a great victory to show that taxpayers are not paying taxes
for nothing,” he said.
Washington
announced on May 2, 2011 that Bin Laden was killed by US forces in his compound
in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
The
lack of transparency over bin Laden's death has cast further doubt over the
announcement.
