Seymour Hersh, an investigative
Journalist has revealed in his recent investigation that the US government lied
to the world about how Osama bin Laden was killed, skewing the facts so Obama
could claim political glory.
It is alleged that the
Pakistani government had been holding the 9/11 mastermind in his Abbottabad
compound - located in a residential area known to be vastly populated by
military officials - for years.
The CIA learned of his location
after a high-ranking intelligence officer in the country tipped off the US in
the hope of claiming a $25 million bounty, the journalist claims.
In his investigation, the
Pulitzer prize-winning journalist also alleges that the Obama administration
negotiated with the Pakistani government and its intelligence officials from
the ISI ahead of the raid, but then later claimed it was a secret infiltration
mission.
Hersh, citing an unnamed
source, says that Pakistani intelligence services cut the power to bin Laden's
compound ahead of the raid to aid the SEAL team in avoiding local military
intervention.
There was no firefight, he
claims, and the only bullets fired were those that killed the terror chief.
Barrack Obama concealed the
truth about the raid one year before an election in a bid to boost his
administration's popularity, it is claimed.
The article, published in the
London Review of Books, says that bin Laden was also not buried at sea as
previously claimed, and that he was in fact buried in Afghanistan.
Hersh says that Obama's speech
informing the American people about the successful raid was "put together
in a rush".
