Osama bin Laden worried wife had tracking device in filling

Bin Laden also wrote a letter to his father asking for him to pardon his actions, “if I have done what you did not like”, as well as asking that he take responsibility for his children and wives upon his death.

“Let me know in detail about anything that bothers you about any hospital in Iran or any suspicions that any of the brothers may have about chips planted in any way”, bin Laden wrote.

Among the other documents, Bin Laden wrote to one of his wives in Iran to say he was anxious about her visit to the dentist because it could have given the Iranians a chance to implant a tracking device.

“The size of the chip is about the length of a grain of wheat and the width of a fine piece of vermicelli”, he wrote, using the nom de guerre Abu Abdallah.

People walk past Osama Bin Laden’s compound, where he was killed during a raid by USA special forces, Abottabad, Pakistan, on May 3, 2011. “It is obvious that the news may reach the Americans that the specific entity is negotiating with the mujahidin to secure the release of their prisoner”, he wrote to someone named Shaykh Mahmud.

The letters show Bin Laden to be paranoid regarding spy agencies tracking his movements, advising his subordinates to only travel on overcast days to avoid aerial surveillance and to dispose of suitcases that had been used to move money due to fears that the bags might contain tracking chips.

The undated, unsigned letter “to the American people”, which US intelligence officials attributed to bin Laden, appeared to have been written shortly after Obama began his first term in 2009, based on the letter’s references to events.

The newly released materials reveal an al-Qaida network that was sometimes disorganized behind the scenes and struggling to keep its fighters unified, according to two senior intelligence officials, who spoke only on condition of anonymity to brief reporters on the documents.

Bin Laden said his protectors, including Ahmed al-Kuwaiti, his most trusted courier, initially balked at allowing more family into the compound.

In his last will and testament, al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden claimed he had about $29 million in personal wealth — the bulk of which he wanted to be used “on jihad, for the sake of Allah”.

Osama bin Laden is shown in this file video frame grab released by the U.S. Pentagon May 7, 2011. The ODNI would not comment on what happened to the purported hoard, and it was not immediately clear if bin Laden had written other, more up-to-date wills. The documents were released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

In contrast, USA officials frequently referred to bin Laden as “hiding in a cave” and cut off from the world. I hope that you review them and give me your impressions.

In the rambling letter made public Tuesday, bin Laden blamed the 2007-8 USA financial crisis on corporate control of capital and corporate lobbyists, and the U.S.-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Al Qaeda’s leaders also urged further attacks on the United States. The letters indicate his wife Khairiah was able to send her responses back to her husband.
