.Kill Osama Bin Laden has become an obsession that no international leader announces in public, but for years to confession in my ear. Saudi Arabia proposed merging forces from six countries to assassinate the leader of Al Qaeda and his squire, the Egyptian doctor Ayman al Zawahiri, the world's most wanted terrorists, according to secret diplomatic documents seen by COUNTRY.
Cable in Saudi Arabia intends to coordinate the forces of six countries Bin Laden capture
Osama Bin Laden
- The proposal came from the Saudi Prince Turki al Faisal, 65, former head of the secret services and one of the men he knows best Bin Laden and the Afghan reality. Saudi former ambassador in Britain and the U.S., educated at American universities of Princeton and Cambridge, and before the 11-S was about to achieve what seemed impossible: that the Taliban turn to Saudi Arabia and the elusive bearded Osama when he directed Afghan terrorist training camps.
The proposal to design a set of six countries plan to hunt Bin Laden came during a meeting of the Saudi prince with U.S. Ambassador James B. Smith, in February 2010 in Riyadh. Turki al-Faisal stated that Saudi Arabia, USA, China, Russia, Afghanistan and Pakistan could join forces and share assets to capture or kill leaders of Al Qaeda. "This would break the aura of invincibility of the terrorists and allow the U.S. to declare victory and move (in Afghanistan)," ventured the son of King Faisal, was murdered in 1975, one of the most influential and well informed of the kingdom. The story appears in a secret cable from the State Department U.S..
Prince negotiated face to face in Afghanistan by Mullah Mohammed Omar, ally and protector of Bin Laden, the delivery of the leader of Al Qaeda, and then considered a serious threat to Saudi Arabia, but after a verbal agreement, the Taliban chief , which continues the run, broke his commitment. In those negotiations accompanied him Nasim Rana, the then head of the powerful and sinister ISI, Pakistan's secret service.
Next September 11 marks the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, which caused 3,000 deaths, but the U.S. has succeeded in discovering the whereabouts of a tall, lanky 54-year holding Kalashnikov in his left arm leaning on a cane, sleeping on the ground and feeds on vegetables, yogurt, soup and bread Afghanistan. A man who has been a dream than a decade ago seemed a chimera internationalize jihad and spread terror through alliances with partners around the world. Dozens of local cells, inspired by Bin Laden's speech, lose sleep intelligence chiefs from several continents.The failure to find Bin Laden is an evidence, but the secret cables from the State Department show the importance that the Western leaders gave first to his capture and now his death. In a confidential report from the U.S. embassy in London, dated December 2, 2009, ensures that the former prime minister Gordon Brown said Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, during a phone conversation "that Pakistan would wipe out bin Laden." The note contains the meeting in London between Brown and Pakistani Prime Minister Gilani. British politician he claimed to extend its fight against extremism, eliminate terrorist safe havens and increase dialogue with India. Gilani was unhappy with the language of Brown exhaustive.
The international community seems suspicious enough of the unwillingness of the Pakistani secret services (ISI) in the hunt for bin Laden, because everything points to the Saudi terrorist and al-Zawahiri are hiding in front of their noses in the tribal region of North Waziristan, the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, a mountainous territory of 11,585 meters square whose villages attack the Predator unmanned aircraft the U.S. military.- "In fact, in Pakistan, Osama Bin Laden is not an invisible man and many know their whereabouts in North Waziristan, but when security forces attempt a raid on their hideouts, the enemy receives notice of the sources own security forces. " A clear nod towards the Pakistani secret service ISI and its troubling ties to terrorist leaders of Al Qaeda, the Taliban and the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Tayba.
lives. We show videos and audios that stars from his escape in 2001 to the caves of Tora Bora during the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. In the past, issued a few days ago by the Al-Jazeera threat to French President Nicolas Sarkozy and ensures that the order to kill French hostages in Niger if France did not withdraw its troops from Afghanistan.
The CIA lost its great opportunity to kill Bin Laden. It was in 1999 in the desert of Kandahar (Afghanistan), when the terrorist was accompanying a group of falconers actual UAE Houbara hunting, a rare and beautiful bird. The bodyguard of a prince informed of the situation in the camp. The Predator heated engines, but George Tenet, then CIA chief, opposed. The White House negotiated a sale of aircraft by 8,000 million dollars to United. Kill Bin Laden without the royal entourage suffered casualties was very difficult. Since then, all information received by the CIA have proved a fiasco.
Saudi Arabia plays a central role in the Afghan conflict and its relationship with the leaders of that country, Pakistan, its economic power and leadership in the Muslim world. The proposal of Prince Turki Al Faisal to join forces in six countries in the capture of Bin Laden took place weeks before Richard Holbrooke, special ambassador to Afghanistan and Pakistan Obama, visited Riyadh. Holbrooke died last December by a tear in the aorta could not see his dream of catching the leader of Al Qaeda. Zardari, Pakistani President Washington attended the funeral of a diplomat.
The secret report which set out the plan relates the conversation that the U.S. ambassador in Riyadh had with a senior Secret Service Saudis, and the latter's reluctance to report on mediation that his "intelligence channels" have with Taliban leaders and Afghan officials. "The discussions are delicate and fears that U.S. involvement could derail its progress," says the cable.
A secret report of Colin Powell, dated November 3, 2001, entitled
Afghanistan's future foretold: "Eliminate Bin Laden and his associates in Afghanistan is only the first step of the process." When will serve 10 years after the invasion, the head of Al Qaeda, Salafi and ascetic at heart, still alive and the process has completed successfully.
