Pak spy doctor helped CIA confirm Osama's hideout in Abbottabad | Pakistani doctor Shakeel Afridi, who helped the CIA to gather information
about Osama bin Laden through a fake vaccination program also assisted in the
final confirmation of the terror leader's hideout in Abbottabad, it has emerged.
Dr. Afridi angered Pakistan's military authorities by helping the CIA organise
a fake vaccination program to extract DNA from inside the bin Laden compound in
Abbottabad. The program failed, but Dr. Afridi provided another vital clue, Pakistani
intelligence officials told The London Times. According to the New York Post,
Dr. Afridi obtained a telephone number for, and spoke to the compound's putative
owner, Abu Ahmed al Kuwaiti, who was bin Laden's right-hand man. The number Dr.
Afridi obtained enabled al Kuwaiti's voice to be recorded and provided the final
confirmation that the man seen by drones in the compound was bin Laden. Dr. Afridi
disappeared after bin Laden was killed in a US raid one year ago in the walled
compound. He is currently in the custody of Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence
agency.
