‘Vaccination Program’ in Pakistan Was a CIA Covert Operation
July 12th, 2011The parts about Bin Laden are random gibberish in my opinion. For me, the key information is: CIA ran a vaccination program as a covert operation. Full stop.
How many other doctors around the world take CIA bribes to run ‘vaccination programs’?
Questions, questions.
Via: Guardian:
The CIA organised a fake vaccination programme in the town where it believed Osama bin Laden was hiding in an elaborate attempt to obtain DNA from the fugitive al-Qaida leader’s family, a Guardian investigation has found.
As part of extensive preparations for the raid that killed Bin Laden in May, CIA agents recruited a senior Pakistani doctor to organise the vaccine drive in Abbottabad, even starting the “project” in a poorer part of town to make it look more authentic, according to Pakistani and US officials and local residents.
The doctor, Shakil Afridi, has since been arrested by the Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI) for co-operating with American intelligence agents.
