Pak sheltered Osama in Abbottabad for Saudis

August 11, 2011 11:11

The legend of Osama bin Laden is destined to remain apparently.

The Al Qaeda leader was protected by elements of Pakistan's security apparatus in return for millions of dollars of Saudi cash, an American security analyst has claimed.

Raelynn Hillhouse's version, based on evidence from sources in what she calls the "intelligence community", contradicts the official account that bin Laden was tracked down through his trusted courier.

Hillhouse says it was an ISI officer who came forward to claim the approximately 25-million-dollar bounty on bin Laden's head and to broker US citizenship for his family.
