A Pulitzer prize winning journalist, Seymour Hersh has revealed that Osama Bin Laden was "Invalid" when his compound was invaded in Pakistan. The journalist revealed that Osama Bin Laden was not buried in the sea as President Obama and a video broadcasted to the world had shown.
Osama Bin Laden hideout at Abottabad where he was assasinated
The journalist had spent four years investigating the issue of May 2, 2011. The journalist revealed that what President Obama told USA and the world about Osama bin laden assassination was a lie.
The journalist painted a picture of what happened in an essay for the London Review Of Books. In the book, Hersh said Bin Laden is in a state of ill-health , under Pakistani watch and was no longer the leader of Al-Qaeda as portrayed by the US and world media.
Hersh said based on the testimony from an anonymous retired senior intelligence official and dissects the Obama Administration’s retelling of the operation.
Some Claims That Hersh Said Was Wrong
Pakistan was on the operation all along. Even though reporters have said that the Pakistani was left out of the operation as a precaution and to ensure no possible leaks, compromising the operation of the navy seal whose job was to take down the most wanted man, Osama Bin Laden.
Hersh said :
The White House still maintains that the mission was an all-American affair, and that the senior generals of Pakistan’s army and Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI) were not told of the raid in advance. This is false
The Pakistani had captured Osama Bin Laden in 2006 and were keeping him in a high-walled compound in Abottabad .
In August 2010 a former senior Pakistani intelligence officer approached Jonathan Bank, then the CIA’s station chief at the US embassy in Islamabad, and offered to tell the CIA where to find bin Laden in return for the reward that Washington had offered in 2001,” Hersh said.
Pakistan had said they will cooperate with the Americans if they (Americans) continue to release their military aid to the country.
Two Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency senior officials, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani and General Ahmed Shuja Pasha took money to make sure that the ISI never interferes in the capturing of Osama.
Osama was ill and the ISI had ordered a doctor stays nearby to treat him regularly.
The truth is that bin Laden was an invalid, but we cannot say that. ‘You mean you guys shot a cripple? Who was about to grab his AK-47?’
Though the white house had said that Bin Laden was killed as he posed a threat to the Team Seal 6 and they opened fire for self defence.
They knew where the target was — third floor, second door on the right,” the retired official said. Go straight there. Osama was cowering and retreated into the bedroom. Two shooters followed him and opened up. Very simple, very straightforward, very professional hit.
The squad came through the door and obliterated him
The Osama Bin Laden body was tossed over the Hindu Kush mountains and was not buried in the sea as claimed
Obama said that after killing bin Laden the Seals ‘took custody of his body
The retired official told Hersh that the body was scattered over the mountains from a helicopter.
The remains, including his head, which had only a few bullet holes in it, were thrown into a body bag and, during the helicopter flight back to Jalalabad, some body parts were tossed out over the Hindu Kush mountains,” Hersh said
