2011-05-03
The US potentially knew by 2008 about Osama bin Laden's den in Abbottabad, according to the anti-secrecy site Wikileaks on Monday, referencing from a leaked US wire. The document contained notes on the interrogation of a Libyan, Abu al-Libi, who was in detention at Guantanamo on Cuba and announced he'd been elected as a bin Loaded messenger in 2003 to be based in Abbottabad. "In July 2003, prisoner got sent a letter from ( Osama bin Laden's ) appointed courier, Maulawi Abd al-Khaliq Jan, asking for inmate take on the responsibility of collecting donations, organising travel and distributing funds for families in Pakistan. " ( Osama bin Loaded ) stated inmate would be the official messenger between ( Osama bin Loaded ) and others in Pakistan. In mid-2003, prisoner moved his folks to Abbottabad ( Pakistan ) and worked between Abbottabad and Peshawar." Wikileaks revealed the reference on Twitter. Wikileaks is steadily publishing 250K leaked US diplomatic messages. The document shortened Osama bin Laden's name to "UBL. ".
