Iran claims Osama died of illness long before US raid

Iranian intelligence minister says Iran has reliable information that Bin Laden died of an illness before the raid.

Express May 09, 2011

TEHRAN: Iranian media on Sunday reported that Iran refuted US claims that al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was killed by US special forces in an operation in the Pakistani garrison town of Abbottabad last Sunday.

Refuting the official version given by the US administration, Iran's Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi said that Iran has reliable information that Bin Laden died of illness some time ago.

“If the US military and intelligence apparatus have really arrested or killed bin Laden, why don't they show him (his dead body) why have they thrown his corpse into the sea?” Moslehi asked.

He said the White House was seeking to "overshadow a regional awakening" by releasing such news.

US President Barack Obama had announced that al Qaeda kingpin Bin Laden was killed in an operation by special US forces in his hideout in Abbottabad on May 1. His body was quickly buried at sea and the US has refused to release pictures creating much controversy as many continue to question the veracity of the US claim.

vicky | 13 years ago | Reply Well, guyz i am a professional in strategy and policy and so far i know, the gradual uprising crisis that Pakistan has been facing, is the outcome of the policy makers of Pakistan.we all know that Army and influential political parties: Religious and Secular are the beneficiaries. They hold same stance with different faces.whether its Baghdad pact(1955) or early 60s, in the era of General Ayub khan, U-2 an American spy was took off from the Pakistani soil towards Soviet and was hunted down later. Pakistan or more precisely, Army has been using war as instrument of policy. One should be clear that Pakistanis have been manipulated by these sort of Warlords. For instance, Black waters, Drones and Osama, these are all same the instruments for earning and amputating the bodyparts of common citizens. Now its time to wake up and scrutinize the real picture of our establishment.

Rehan | 13 years ago | Reply Well I guess its correct all this is a staged hoax. Stills of Obama and his team about watching this military operation online were actually of an "OPERATIONS THEATER" video where a team of doctors was trying its best to keep Osama alive and performing surgical operation of his kidneys, as he was already on dialysis from past many years. As osama was under house arrest in a safe house under constant watch.

Smooth Criminal | 13 years ago | Reply @Samia Mahmood: Thankyou for your reply. One does not become an apologist for Osama Bin Laden merely by stating that you disagree with the official narrative of how he died or by challenging the questionable evidence or absence of it that is presented to us. If Osama was indeed responsible for deaths of thousands of people around the world, then he was an evil man, period. I beg to differ that he may be responsible for more deaths and destruction than any other person of this century. More than half a million children have died in Iraq due to sanctions and collateral damage based on a lie, "the price was worth it', Madeleine Albright. Terrorists not only live in caves, but they also drop 1 ton bombs from 10,000 ft above, ordered by men in dark suits, 6,000 miles away. As for your comment about conspiracy theories - every conspiracy is a theory until it becomes fact, and many do. Bush and Blair conspired to lead us to war on false pretenses and evidence such as the 45 minute WMD's claim and the forged yellow cake documents presented by Colin Powell to the UN. That was once a theory, now we know it is a FACT. Let's nip in the bud the idea, along the accompanying insinuations, that conspiracy theorising is wrong per se, or somehow the purview of the intellectually inferior, bordering on the periphery of lunacy. Without it all investigative journalism would cease to exist. It's much easier to label someone who has a so called 'radical' viewpoint contrary to the the state operandi, a 'conspiracist theorist', rather than analytically and technically scrutinizing the points raised by these 'theorists'. To the nethers, the words of the state operandi are like the word of God, sacrosanct, they can say no wrong and cannot be challenged ! BTW, I think you'll find very few conspiracist theorists, who actually think he is alive. Salam.

Aysha | 13 years ago | Reply What evidence has been given by American government of his direct or indirect involvement in 9/11 or other attacks? We should start calling him terrorist because Americans call him terrorist? Why? if American nation lacks brain...........it does not mean we do too !! As American official showed evidences of other men involved in 9/11 then why not Osama bin Laden? Why two very important facts about Osama Bin Laden is kept a secret from the world? Was he was involved in 9/11? how? Was he killed by American forces on 2 May? Time magazine portrayed him just like Adolf Hitler, here I ask a question, Adolf Hitler was a leader of a country, he was supported by his military, there were evidences in thousands about genocide of Jewish people. But how come no evidence about Osama Bin Laden' link with 9/11 but still americans call him a terrorist ? How can any person with a functional brain accept this?

Samia Mahmood | 13 years ago | Reply @Smooth Criminal _ Why can you all give it a rest ? The questions and conspiracy whispering he is alive, he is in GITMO & he should have had definitive transparency like independent neutral observers? Give me a break the one of the worst mass murders of this century has been eliminated and we Pakistani are wondering at his right of burial and if his grave would be a shire! Is this a conscious effort to divert the shameful, embarrassment and ridicule the world is heaping on Pakistan that we would rather spend useless time and energy on the failure of us all as a nation that we were assisting Osama bin Laden in the killing of our own Muslim brethren. Looks like America is done with this incident, they have moved on and there are winners and losers and no matter what people say we in Pakistan deserve the losing stick. Pakistan is now know as the - terrorist hospitality center - come stay here we will give you free and safe harbor. You can kill our citizens and we will not complain, We just do not inherit the moral courage to stand up to EVIL!

Aysha | 13 years ago | Reply Ok America is not giving out pictures, if Iran claims about Osama's death then please give the evidence, otherwise Iran and America both will be liers...........one of you must come up with the truth...........

rtw | 13 years ago | Reply @Ali: Yes, Osama could be in Gitmo; or he could be hidden in a villa someplace (he was ex-CIA asset after all). Or he could have died years ago. But what I noticed is that he seems to be drugged in the latest photo they showed of him. In earlier photos, he had a spark in his eyes. In the latest one, he just looks like a man under the influence of something. Maybe they just have/had him tucked away somewhere, and constantly drugged.

Smooth Criminal | 13 years ago | Reply @BobK: What there should have been is some definitive transparency like independent neutral observers to verify his death on land and aboard the ship. The alleged body of Bin Laden was hastily dumped in the sea to prevent any proper procedure of identification. The White House claimed this was in accordance with normal Islamic burial rituals, however numerous Muslim scholars all over the globe disputed this claim. A senior U.S. official said the burial decision was made after they realized it would have been difficult to find a country willing to accept bin Laden's body, so we see a contradiction in the reason for burying at sea. As for the claim that that releasing a photo of his dead body would cause an outrage in the Muslim world, might I remind you that the US Government had no qualms about showing photos of dead Muslims such as Saddam Hussain's sons, disfigured prisoners on piled ice at Abu Gharaib prison and many more, so you can safely say Muslims are pretty much desensitized. @Mirza: "Also his grave would become a focal point of more and more extremists." This statement is self-defeating. Osama Bin Laden and his followers follow a Wahhabi doctrine, they are vehemently against shrines. It would have been against their religious interpretation to make his grave a focal point for more and more extremists, rather they would have kept a funeral discreet and laid him to rest in an unmarked grave.

Disco Molvi | 13 years ago | Reply True, there were countless rumors of OBL's death in these past few years. But come 2nd May and the very next day all the Islamist parties of this country (Jamaat ud Dawa, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam) and some educated(?) people too are on the streets crying over their hero's 'death. If this news is as fake as the past rumors, why did these terrorist sympathizers came out protesting now? Why did they not stay in their homes if this is a fake news, like they did for previous 'rumors'?

Irfan Khan | 13 years ago | Reply Iran says that there was no Bin Laden, then with whom the three wives of him living in Abbottabad.

BobK | 13 years ago | Reply @Najba: "there a lot of things not adding up"..... Like your common sense??? The U.S. Government didn't release a picture of UBL's dead body because of the outrage it would cause in the Muslim world. In an attempt to bury his body in a respectful way, the highly tolerant Imams complained that it wasn't done in accordance with Islamic traditions..no matter what they (US) the Muslim world will cry that the infidels have brought shame to a muslim...get over it..he was a terrorist.

You just read/watched the false media, saw the picture which was proven fake (Even many US channels shown how it was Photoshopped and 2 different fotos were merged) and spread the False words. Open your eyes and accept the facts.

Aamir | 13 years ago | Reply @QB: Dear QB, I think all Pakistani's should come out from the state of accepting all unauthentic news that are coming through western media. As it is their history that they propagate fake propaganda to achieve their goals. Kindly find some evidence to verify my earlier statement: 1-- Attack on Iraq was mainly caused that Iraq had mass destruction weapons and it was same western media/sources who were propagating. They destroyed complete Iraq but could not find a single sew in concern with mass destruction weapon. 2-- The video of Neil Armstrong (The fist person who set foot on the moon) was faked as it was produced in Holly wood not on the moon but earlier they were trying that it is filmed on moon. 3-- "Jessica Lynch", USA army claimed that they released this lady from Saddam Hospital after heavy resistance from Iraqi army and it was one of the successful commando action by them but later proved to be faked, see the link of Guardian news to know the truth. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2003/may/15/iraq.usa2 Coming to 2nd point that OBL daughter is confirming that her father is dead, so following point raised here. 1-- Did anybody see OBL children in the custody of Pakistani authorities? 2-- If OBL family was so important then why CIA left them? 3-- Pakistani/CIA authorities are claiming about OBL family members are consist of about 3 wives and 13 or more children, did anybody think that how they were managing their food, as two brothers were living there and surely when 2 people will arrange food for near about 20 people, the surrounding will automatically be doubtful about them as they are two but why things are going in bulk for almost 5 years. These all above points prove that this is a fake story. .

Shakeel Shah | 13 years ago | Reply Iranian information seems 100% correct. If Americans could find OBL in Abbottabad, they never kill him but they must try to capture him. His family alone may be residing here and Americans may have killed their security guards/servants in an illegal attack in Pakistan. If they have killed OBL they may be showing his dead body on live channels for may weeks. Instead they issued a fake photo and a fake movie which proves fake American story just to please their people and to build artificial pressure on Pakistani government. However, it is shameful for Pakistani government to become defensive instead of being offensive on this illegal American violence of killing innocent people in Pakistan.

Mirza | 13 years ago | Reply @Swami: We do not realize that America has done the biggest favor to Pakistan and its people. May be some would realize after a while. If OBL were killed and his body left behind, there would be huge funeral processions and his martyr cult would have increased. Also his grave would become a focal point of more and more extremists. They killed him, and dumped his body where it belongs. They saved Pakistan from the troubles. Nobody in Pakistan would have dared raid his compound and kill him. He was a bone in our throat and it was not going to get better.

Smooth Criminal | 13 years ago | Reply Iran is playing catchup. Before last Sunday’s raid, every intelligence analyst, geopolitical commentator or head of state worth their salt was on record as stating that Osama Bin Laden was already dead, and that he probably died many years ago, from veteran CIA officer Robert Baer, to former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto (she was assassinated two days after making the statement), to former FBI head of counterterrorism Dale Watson. Top US government insider Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik, a man who held numerous different influential positions under five different Presidents, serving as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under the Nixon, Ford and Carter, has also stated last week that Bin Laden died of marfan syndrome shortly after he was visited by CIA physicians at the American Hospital in Dubai in July 2001.

Haad | 13 years ago | Reply Thats probably the 23rd osama who has been killed. If someone believes that Osama was killed on the night of the 2nd may, then he has to revisit his senses!

QB | 13 years ago | Reply All Pakistanis ... please come out of chronic state of denial. Enough evidence has been provided by US to show that OBL is dead and likely died during that assault on May 2nd. If some one contradicts that than please explain how come 3 wives of OBL are saying that he was hiding in Abbotabad ... also do you expect that her 12 years old daughter was also lying when she said that she saw her father bieng shot? To dear Iranians ... If they have proof that OBL died long time ago than whats stopping them from bringing it forward .... how can they blame US for now proof when they themselves are not providing proof of what they are saying. Friends we have to wake up otherwise we will continue to deny the dangers around us an never learn.

The only thing i've seen is a few close ups of a chicken farm in Abbottabad.

Jake Sevens | 13 years ago | Reply If Obama wanted to fake OBL's killing for political reasons, he would have waited another 16 months. This way, the political benefits would come right before the presidential election. OBL's killing has given Obama a political boost for sure, but it won't last until next year's election. Also, taking OBL alive would probably have created a huge mess, with kidnappings and renewed terror campaigns conditioned on his released.

Saboor | 13 years ago | Reply Its Hollywood & Lollywood combine production. @Don, you guys just believe whatever Fox/CNN tells you. US needed a moral building story. they couldn't do it in the Tribal Areas because the Pathans Tribes would have kick them out. No photo, no body....oh yeah all crap

Suryia Baloch | 13 years ago | Reply ALL OF YOU that believe the crapola of the Iran regime should be rounded up with the Osma clan left in Pakistan and shipped to IRAN where mass prisons hold and torture anyone who speaks against them. There are two factors for those that support the Iran facade of lying either you are in a constant state of shock that Pakistan was asleep when America in a short silent immediate manner removed the most dangerous man in recent history Or the education system in Pakistan has failed miserably and we have spun out students with bad education who cannot accept the basic facts and truth and rely on conspiracy manias to feed their insatiable desire so they we cannot accept the fact we live in a nation that the world views as a joke.

Najba | 13 years ago | Reply The whole story of OBL's death seems fake, there a lot of things not adding up, although a lot of ppl are insisting that its true,. I dont think so and the Iranian claim seems to be true as the Abbottabad operation surely seems like a hollywood stunt...

Don | 13 years ago | Reply You people are fools if you agree with the Iranian. I guess the information about Bin Ladens wives are fiction too. They are very good actors!

Ali | 13 years ago | Reply @Swami - that's exactly the point. Capture him and fake his death...A living Osama could probably save more lives (by exposing the plans and whereabouts) then a dead one! Make the world believe that he is dead and yet have access to live info! Also, it's not a state of denial...too many loose ends in the story to decipher facts from fiction

Nadeem Ahmed | 13 years ago | Reply It means, Osama's three wives were sleeping with a dead man, give me a break. America had to destroy one of their most secret chopper to convince Pakistanis that operation was conducted and also left his wives and children behind to tell the truth, but who will call us Pakistanis, if we start thinking straight. These Iranian Mullahs are continuation of our Islam's destruction which we are getting since hundreds of years. Their achievement during last three decades of rule is zero.

Unbiased | 13 years ago | Reply @Swami: But how readliy you 'educated' Indians are ready to believe it.

Siddhu | 13 years ago | Reply @swami it is rather more amazing that even after reading the above posts swami thinks that it was OBL killed in the operation. give me your photo i can make it look like you have been killed by bullets, even a child can do that who has little experience of photoshop.

Asad | 13 years ago | Reply Though it is hard to believe whatever Iran says is true, but one thing is sure from the history, Iran prefer to keep silent than to throw tissue papers in air and let them fall whereever the air forces them

Swami | 13 years ago | Reply @Ali: The Americans didn't want to capture OBL alive because that would have made every American worldwide a possible target for kidnapping. It's amazing to read here how so many ostensibly educated Pakistanis are in a state of complete denials. Even if the Americans release a photo of dead OBL they will still not believe it claiming it's fake.

Vikram | 13 years ago | Reply True

Ibne Shamsi | 13 years ago | Reply One who believe in logic is not ready to accept US claim that US forces killed OBL. OBL was a patient of Kidneys how could be alive for a long time without having taking proper medicines. Its a drama to win next term of US presidentship.

MastMaula(India) | 13 years ago | Reply The USA has been enjoying and exercising a 'superpower' status for quite some time and not being able to catch a single person by the strongest army of the world is indeed a matter of shame. To save her face which is not an ordinary face but a superpower's face, the USA has very badly fabricated the whole death scene so that she can have a pseudo-graceful exit from Afganistan which has proved to be a white elephant for her.

Ahmad Usman | 13 years ago | Reply Thanks God that someone has the courage to speak the truth. In fact this is the 9th time that Osama is dead. Its all "Obama-Osama-Drama" v v http://www.corbettreport.com/osama-bin-laden-pronounced-dead-for-the-ninth-time/ Get ready for the next 9/11: This time the target is Pakistan WIKILEAKS 26 April 2011 (Propaganda): "Al-Qaeda to detonate nuke bomb in Europe if Osama is captured/killed." 1 week later, 2 May 2011, Usama dead. Now a major FAKE terror attack is expected sooner or later especially in US & India. After that, Pak is going to be attacked from all sides (India & Afghanistan). It will result in the culmination of pak's Nuclear facility or who knows will be the start of a New world War. Lecture in 2003 v v http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOlp_e95l8k

Aamir | 13 years ago | Reply @Mahmood: Dear Brother, Are you sure that Pakistani authorities captured OBL's family? Did anybody see the pictures/videoes of OBL family under the custody of Pakistani authorities? *As per dawn news:* http://www.dawn.com/2011/05/08/villagers-bemused-by-hunt-for-bin-ladens-trail.html One of his wives, found along with a gaggle of children in a high-walled compound where he had been hiding, told Pakistani investigators they used to live in Chak Shah Mohammad before moving to Abbottabad five years ago. OBL's wife or Combine production drama climax ends by only one statement by the resident of Chak Shah Mohammad village: “Everyone in the village knows when a cow has a calf so how could bin Laden and his family hide here?” This family custody story is also like OBL body, one day we will listen that authorities have given OBL's family to CIA and they are unable to show them. By the way if CIA knows that these family members are so important then why they left them?

Phajja | 13 years ago | Reply Iran’s Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi is a very credible person. If he is saying that I will be even more doubtful of US-ISI drama of OBL . I think nothing even happened there . They planted that helicpter and burned it to show that some operation took place,. Osama was never there. he was dead long ago then obviously they killed no one therefore, there could be no OBL's body which they dumped into the sea. All was a fabricated drama just like the one 10 years ago known as 9/11. There is no FIR against OBL in the US. Don't you want to know why?LOL

Ali | 13 years ago | Reply For all we know, Osama might be currently in Gitmo. Few questions that defy logic are: Why would US kill an apparently unarmed man who happens to be the greatest terrorist master mind the world has ever seen? Why would they not capture him and interrogate to get into the Al Qaeda leadership and mindset? Why would thet not ask him for the location of Al Qaeda heirarchy? Of all people he would be the one who would be sure to know!.Why would they not humilaite him and show his scared, worried and weak face to the world ala Saddam where he would be apologising to the whole world for the problems and war caused? - If they wanted to kill, why would they risk 16 highly trained SEALs who specialise in search and rescue on an assissnation mission? Drone or CIA could have done that. It seems unexplainable and illogical to kill a such high value unarmed target without gaining any significant info apart form some left over videos!

ahmad | 13 years ago | Reply it somthing strange for me i am 100 percent agree with iranian piont of veiws

Mahmood | 13 years ago | Reply Didn't we just read information released by Pakistani authorities claiming that OBL wife and children watched American's shoot OBL? Pakistan would be the first country to claim that OBL was already dead if they thought this was plausable and they thought they could get the World to believe it - but they haven't. This is typical Iranian nonense which is designed to provide fuel to the conspiracy theorist - of course those theorist tend to ignore obvious facts. When in doubt - why not ask OBL kids and children?

The fact that the myth behind Al-Qaeda has been completely demolished and that through a myriad of revelations, Al-Qaeda will be swept under the rug and a new enemy will be invented in order to legitimize the continued US military-complex domination of the globe.

PERVAIZ | 13 years ago | Reply 100 per cent OBL died much before . now it is usa turn to proof that they kill OBL on 2nd may . many people have doubt but this but this debit is overshadow by cia vs isi. publicly they confront each other but indirectly they support each other . i have simple question if any one give answer of it 1) In the present of drone attack threat why OBL kept his 11 children and 3 wives with himself in just one attack of drone whole family will finish in seconds. 2) Every terrorist kept one way for escape this is not happen in this case . 3) why not he kept a smart bomb and in last stage he kill 30 to 40 usa marine with himself. or at least kept two or three suicide bomber in this compound . 4) How usa know operation duration less then 40 minutes . what happen if they face stiff resistance from OBL and co. and operation last up to hours and what is back plan when pak army or local police or local population came action. 5) they say they a chance of 60 to 80 present of present of OBL . can u imagine on chance of 60 percent usa President and his whole team leave their whole work and sit in front of big screen . And imagine if 40 to 50 usa marine has died and OBL able to escape in that case obma even may not able to contest a seat of counselor thier is lot of doubt in usa stories .

Shaikh | 13 years ago | Reply Totally agree with the Iranian minister. This whole OBL story is full of crap. Since no one has the guts to stand up to US tyranny, no one is interested to challenge the allegation.

Fahd Shah | 13 years ago | Reply As per EX CIA head in an interview confirmed that he died in 2001 in Tora Bora From this incident you can see how strong is Pakistan Government. Another East India Company has been formed. they can do any thing in Pakistan. No one can stop them.

Fahd hassan | 13 years ago | Reply Even the Indians are saying this was CIA-ISI work to help US beat out of Afghanistan with some superpower honor after being beaten there by the pushtoons. Period.
