U.S. Troops Were 1,800 Yards from Osama bin Laden in 2008, Training Pakistanis How to Catch Him

U.S. Troops Were 1,800 Yards from Osama bin Laden in 2008, Training Pakistanis How to Catch Him

U.S. Troops Were 1,800 Yards from Osama bin Laden in 2008, Training Pakistanis How to Catch HimAccording to Wikileaks documents, about 100 U.S. troops deployed to Abbottabad, Pakistan, in 2008, just yards from Osama bin Laden's lair. They were there to train the Pakistani military how to capture or kill Al Qaeda terrorists. It didn't take.

The Guardian caught the diplomatic cable, which recounted a meeting between then deputy secretary of state John Negroponte and Pakistan's foreign minister, Shah Mehmood Qureshi to discuss U.S. military aid to Pakistan. It doesn't appear to be among the 12,000 or so cables released by Wikileaks yet—the Guardian has the full database—and the paper didn't publish the cable itself.

But it mentions "US Training-of-Trainers for the Frontier Corps starting in Abbottabad in October" of 2008. And that sounds a lot like this plan, reported in the New York Times in March 2008, to send 100 or so troops to train Pakistan's Frontier Corps, which the Times decribes as a "Pakistani paramilitary force that is the vanguard in the fight against Al Qaeda." If such training were indeed taking place in Abbottabad, as the cable reports, then it almost certainly took place at the Pakistan Military Academy, roughly 1.7 kilometers from the compound where Osama bin Laden lived from 2005 or so until Sunday night.

TOP DOG
2. CIA Director Reveals Details From Raid

In an interview with Time magazine—the first time he has spoken to the public since bin Laden's death—CIA Director Leon Panetta admitted that U.S. officials were only 60 to 80 percent certain the al Qaeda leader was in the compound before they moved in. They were also concerned that Pakistan "might alert the targets" of their mission, Panetta said, which is why the CIA decided not to work with the country on the raid. Panetta did not learn his intelligence arguments had convinced the president to proceed with the raid until Friday, when Obama officially authorized the helicopter mission in a signed letter. Panetta had told the president: "If I thought delaying this could in fact produce better intelligence that would be one thing. But because of the nature of the security at the compound, we're probably at a point where we've got the best intelligence we can get." He also told Time that U.S. forces came away from the compound with an "impressive amount" of material, including computers and electronics.
