Osama bin Laden

A treasure hunter has put forth the claim that he knows where the body of Osama Bin Laden is and is currently trying to raise funds for the expedition.

Bill Warren, 67, a treasure hunter from California, stated that he still holds his doubts that the United States killed Bin Laden and buried him at sea. The government has not released any photographs as proof, which has only fueled skeptics.

Warren explained that the Bin Laden's body "is two hundred miles west of the Indian city of Surat." Warren stated that he was able to determine the location of the body by using satellite photographs recently released by the Navy. more >>

The Pakistani contractor who bulldozed the three-story Abbottabad hideout of Osama bin Laden is selling the remnants of the al-Qaida terrorist's last home.

"These bricks can be used by people to build new houses," Shakeel Ahmed, a well-known contractor in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad told Reuters.

The former home of the terrorist has become somewhat of a tourist attraction with some visitors looking to take home a souvenirs from the world's most wanted terrorist's last hide out, Ahmed told the news agency. more >>

Former al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden's family, which includes his three widows and 11 children, is being deported from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, CBS New York reported that the FBI and Department of Homeland Security have issued a warning against potential terrorist revenge attacks marking the upcoming anniversary of bin Laden's death.

Bin Laden had evaded capture by U.S. and international forces for close to a decade for his role in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on America, when he was found hiding at a compound in the hill town of Abbottabad, Pakistan and shot dead by Navy SEALs on May 2, 2011. His family members, who were in Pakistan with him illegally, are now being sent back to their native Saudi Arabia, and his three widows were sentenced to 45 days in prison, Reuters reported. more >>

Bin Laden had fled officials for many years while bringing some of his children along with him, according to a statement released by one of Osama Bin Laden's wives.

While the exact number of Bin Laden's children is unknown, reports have estimated that he had anywhere from 20 to 26 kids. Bin Laden first married in 1974, at the age of 17, to a woman named Najwa Ghanem.

In 1983, Bin Laden married Khadijah Sharif. In 1985 he married Khairiah Saba and Siham Sabar in 1987. By 1990 he had divorced Sharif; he also divorced his first wife before 2001. In 2000 he married Amal Ahmad Abdul Fateh, which was his last known marriage, although it is suspected that there could have been at least one more which resulted in an annulment. more >>

Osama Bin Laden's body was not buried at sea, according to Stratfor company emails exposed by the infamous WikiLeaks, an organization dedicated to revealing classified information.

Instead of being unattainably sunk beneath the waves, Osama bin Laden's body was "bound for Dover, [Delaware] on [a] CIA plane," then "onward to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Bethesda, [Maryland]," according to an email written by Fred Burton, Stratfor's vice president of intelligence.

Burton goes on to compare the death and subsequent disposal of bin Laden to that of Adolph Eichmann, a Nazi lieutenant colonel and a major organizer of the Holocaust in Hitler's Germany. more >>

Two copies of an English version of the Holy Bible were found in the building where Osama bin Laden spent his last days and was killed by U.S. forces, Pakistani officials revealed on Tuesday night.

The compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, where the al-Qaida leader was shot dead by U.S. Navy SEALs last May, is being demolished this week. A number of interesting discoveries have been made among the rubble, however.

Among them are cleverly hidden radios and two copies of the Bible, but different theories exist about why the extremist Islamic leader, who waged a holy war against the U.S., would have Bibles in his possession. Certain passages have apparently been highlighted in different colors, leading some Pakistani intelligence officials to believe that they might be coded messages referencing future terror attacks, The Times of India reported. Pakistan's ISI security service is conducting further investigations on the texts in question. more >>
