Glimpses of Bin Laden: Now WikiLeaks reveals Al Qaeda boss was seen at village meetings - despite CIA claims that they were clueless

By Mail Foreign Service

Last updated at 10:16 AM on 27th July 2010

Al Qaeda boss 'had hand' in plot to poison UK troops
Secret files claim British soldiers shot 16 children
Military experts: leaks could put our troops in peril

'Spotted': Among 91,000 leaked U.S. documents are claims that Osama Bin Laden was last seen in 2006

Secret files leaked about the war in Afghanistan have revealed tantalising glimpses of Osama Bin Laden despite public CIA claims that they are clueless as to the whereabouts of the Al Qaeda boss.

The claims are among 91,000 U.S. military records obtained by whistleblowing website WikiLeaks.

Leon Panetta, director of the CIA, said last month that there have been no firm leads on Bin Laden's whereabouts since the 'early 2000s'.

But a 'threat report' from the International Security Assistance Force regional command (north) on suicide bombers in August 2006 suggested Bin Laden had been attending regular meetings in villages on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

It said: 'Reportedly a high-level meeting was held where six suicide bombers were given orders for an operation in northern Afghanistan. These meetings take place once every month.'

According to the Guardian, which has received the documents, the report went on: 'The top four people in these meetings are Mullah Omar [the Taliban leader], Osama Bin Laden, Mullah Dadullah and Mullah [Baradar].'

If true, it could mean forces came close to having the opportunity to wipe out the senior leadership of the Afghan insurgency that has so far claimed the lives of 320 British soldiers.

The war logs also show that Bin Laden had a hand in a plot to poison coalition forces by adding a powder to food and drink consumed by troops as they passed through villages.

These documents also suggest coalition forces have killed hundreds of civilians in so-called 'blue on white' incidents which were never reported.

IS THIS SOLDIER BEHIND LEAKS?
This fresh-faced soldier could be responsible for leaking a massive file of secret military documents revealing chilling details of the Afghanistan war and civilian deaths.

The leak is said to be U.S. Army intelligence expert Bradley Manning, 22, who boasted he had downloaded hundreds of thousands of documents, according to computer hacker Adrian Lamo.

The 22-year-old, pictured above, is said to have contacted Lamo out of the blue and then claimed he had saved high-security files onto CDs, ready to hand to Wikileaks, while pretending to listen to Lady Gaga.

'Hillary Clinton and several thousand diplomats around the world are going to have a heart attack when they wake up one morning and find an entire repository of classified foreign policy is available, in searchable format, to the public,' he apparently told Mr Lamo.

The hacker got in touch with the U.S. military and later met with them in Starbucks to hand over a printout of his conversations with Manning.

Manning has already been charged over a separate leak of a classified helicopter cockpit video earlier this month.

It showed U.S. soldiers laughing as they gunned down Afghan civilians and two journalists in a firefight in Baghdad in 2007.

He was picked up in Iraq, where he was working.

Manning is said to be locked up in a military prison after being shipped across the border to Kuwait.

He faces trial by court martial and, if found guilty, a heavy jail sentence.

Mr Lamo believes Manning did not work alone, saying he did not have ‘the technological expertise’ to carry out the gathering and leaking of the documents.

'I believe somebody would have had to have been of assistance to him,’ he said.

They include claims that 16 children were among those shot or bombed in error by British troops.

The leaked military logs also reveal how a secret 'black' unit of crack special forces hunt down Taliban leaders for 'kill or capture' without trial - and voice concerns that Pakistani intelligence and Iran are supporting the insurgents.

Downing Street said it 'would lament all unauthorised releases of classified material' and the White House condemned the ' irresponsible' leak of the files.

And military and intelligence experts warned yesterday that the leaks could imperil the lives of British forces in Afghanistan.

Colonel Stuart Tootal, who in 2006 commanded 3rd Battalion Parachute Regiment in Helmand Province - where more than 320 UK soldiers have been killed - said the information 'could impact on the security of our soldiers'.

He insisted Nato forces now put a 'huge emphasis' on avoiding civilian casualties.

Tory MP Patrick Mercer, a former Army captain, said: 'Although much of this information is in the public domain, the details are particularly damaging to the credibility of the coalition.

'Our enemies will be quick to exploit the propaganda element of it.

'If there are details of operational matters - locations, equipment, troops movements, resources - then soldiers' lives could be placed at risk.'

Details of the secret files, detailing military operations between 2004 and 2009, were published yesterday by the Guardian, New York times and Germany's Der Spiegel while more than 75,000 records were made available on the WikiLeaks website.

The files list 144 incidents involving Afghan civilian casualties, in which 195 died and 174 were injured.

They detail coalition forces - fearful of suicide bombers - shooting unarmed drivers and civilian motorcyclists, and record an incident when French troops opened fire at a bus full of children because it came too close to a military convoy.

Other leaked documents record a U.S. patrol machine-gunning a bus, killing or wounding 15 passengers, and Polish troops mortaring a village, killing a wedding party including a pregnant woman.

They reveal details of undercover operations by a U.S. special forces unit named task Force 373, formed to hunt down and kill or capture taliban and Al Qaeda commanders.

According to Julian Assange, the founder of the website, the files contain details of 'thousands' of potential war crimes.

At a press conference in London, he defended his decision to publish the files and claimed the high level of civilian casualties reported was in fact lower than the true figure because military personnel 'downplayed' the number or reported them as insurgent deaths.

Mr Assange said: 'We have tried hard to make sure that this material does not put innocents at harm.

'All the material is over seven months old so it is of no current operational consequence, even though it may be of very significant investigative consequence.

'The revelation of abuse by the U.S. and coalition forces may cause Afghans to be upset, and rightly so.

‘If governments don't like populations being upset, they should treat them better, not conceal abuses.'

Professor Malcolm Chalmers, a defence expert at the Royal United Services Institute think tank, said that the leaks could undermine already faltering public support for the war.

Poster Comment:

There has never been any proof that Bin Laden has died or been killed. He has repeatedly been reported to be in a very rugged area surrounded by people fiercely loyal to him.

OBL is not and has never been in direct command of operations. He sees himself as someone providing motivation and logistical support to people actually carrying out day to day operations.

So you in your lambrain believe you and about maybe 10 other CT's have a death grip on this site, and every thread therein?

Well, you are consistently delusional about the extent of your influence here and in the world at large.

What's up with throwing in all the FL posts in the mix?

Another example of how you, a Half Truther, conflate something you pick out of context to mean what you want it to, instead of what it says.

I've clubbed you upside your head with a clue by four multiple times, so I realize what a massive challenge this is for you.

Nobody is talking about my influence. Nobody is discussing any "death grip" either. My you are delusional. Do you hear voices and have imaginary friends too?

Out of context? Conflate something? Er, hello!! Earth to AGABLOWviator. You cut and pasted several FL posts into your last diatribe to me. For what purpose, I do not know. It's right on the thread, not out of context, not conflated........just suspected plagiarism. lol

Seems like I fascinate AGAviator, he cuts and pastes my posts as if they were epic.

Thing is, he doesn't take the ones that ARE pretty informational, he just takes my posts to ole buck and posts them as if that's the entire aspect of what's been said.

Of course he doesn't refer to the ones where I've totally ripped apart his story or diversions, he just takes the ones I've posted to his sidekick in a conversational back and forth.

Your distinction is one without a difference. It is gobbledygook. It is not proven even that Hanjour was behind the stick and that is at best an unproven hypothesis. And the maneuvers that plane went through are well beyond any skill evidenced by Hanjour at any time on a type of aircraft which he was incompetent to fly, had never before flown, never trained on and in fact at no time had he ever flown ANY KIND of jet aircraft

You keep repeating the SOS with zero proof alleging any and all available evidence is wrong, without being able to supply anything sother than arm-waving denials of your own.

Repetition does not make proof except perhaps to you and a few self-hypnotized Six Percenters.

A 1/2 G descending turn is not even beyond the capability of a student pilot.

A holder of a commercial pilot certificate can become completely type certified using flight simulators.

Flight computer are made for safety and ease of use, not for difficulty.

More basic aircraft without flight computers are more difficult to fly and maneuver than aircraft provided with flight computers. This is why ATP pilots wishing to go out for rides in smaller single engine craft must frequently get retrained and why the Chief Instructor said that Hanjour's need for training was "not that unsusual" which as usual you leave out of your cut and pick quotes.

19. Ignore proof presented, demand impossible proofs. This is perhaps a variant of the 'play dumb' rule. Regardless of what material may be presented by an opponent in public forums, claim the material irrelevant and demand proof that is impossible for the opponent to come by (it may exist, but not be at his disposal, or it may be something which is known to be safely destroyed or withheld, such as a murder weapon.) In order to completely avoid discussing issues, it may be required that you to categorically deny and be critical of media or books as valid sources, deny that witnesses are acceptable, or even deny that statements made by government or other authorities have any meaning or relevance.

No, but as someone who posts all day long about laughing to yourself to someone you say is unimportant to you and you don't care at all about, you need to make sure Obama's budget has funding for drop-in mental health centers and lots of free Zoloft down the street you push your shopping cart on.

I thought we agreed that you are "Toots". I'm not just laughing to myself, as others find my commentary comical as well. It's only you who fails to appreciate my comedy.

Unlike you, I'm not promoting Obama's budget, agenda or 911 fairy tales. That's your job and I have no intention of moving in on THAT game. You will have to find somebody else to "make sure" the drop-in mental health centers and free Zoloft are available for you. Good luck with that.

As for me, I'll continue with simple encouragement to help you find your way to more productive discourse.

Now, you are dragging Turtle into reading your drivel I see. Don't you realize he is working hard on a campaign to wipe out short men and sleep with all the women? Even the other half of your dynamic duo, Buck, has better things to do than read your drivel. As for me, keep it coming as it provides bountiful comic relief and takes only moment to adddress.

You keep repeating the SOS with zero proof alleging any and all available evidence is wrong, without being able to supply anything sother than arm-waving denials of your own.

Why do you project your misdeeds onto others? You ignore any and all actual evidence, make things up as you go, such as your implied claim that a VORTAC navaid can read the pilot's mind and decide where he wants to go, and accuse US of being "k00ks".

You cling to your beliefs, which relies on various impossible and/or improbable feats, such as your belief that Hanjour could have flown a 757 jumbo jet like a master pilot even though he was a totally inept "pilot" who had serious problems controlling a single engine Cessna 172. You ignore the fact Flight 77's autopilot was engaged practically the entire flight, thus requiring the knowledge of how to correctly utilize the flight management computer onboard the 757, one which Hanjour had never seen before in his life.

Then you toss in this VORTAC distraction which has nothing to do with Flight 77 since the autopilot was engaged. You can't describe what a pilot would need to do to change the course on a Boeing 757 flight management computer with autopilot engaged, but try to sell the idea that ANYONE could do it, it's so simple, it has to be simple because YOU say so, yet YOU CAN'T describe how it's done.

One moment you try to sell the idea that Hanjour was a "qualified pilot" just because he somehow managed to "buy" his license, yet without exception, EVERY flight instructor who delt with him described him as totally incompetent, a bad pilot, a person who basically couldn't fly at all.

Yet you want us to believe that this person who couldn't even fly a proper circle around an airport and land a Cessna 172 was able to correctly utilize the flight management system onboard a 757, a cockpit he never sat in before in his life, disengage the autopilot near Washington, perform some precision descending turns, level off at treetop level while flying at 400 mph, then descend to 20 feet off the ground at 530 mph in order to strike a 71 foot tall target.

All this without EVER flying a jet before in his life.

Uh huh, sure thing, we're the ones who ignore evidence, and you're the fountain of truth.

In order to completely avoid discussing issues, it may be required that you to categorically deny and be critical of media or books as valid sources, deny that witnesses are acceptable, or even deny that statements made by government or other authorities have any meaning or relevance.

One moment you try to sell the idea that Hanjour was a "qualified pilot" just because he somehow managed to "buy" his license, yet without exception, EVERY flight instructor who delt with him described him as totally incompetent, a bad pilot, a person who basically couldn't fly at all.

Yet you want us to believe that this person who couldn't even fly a proper circle around an airport and land a Cessna 172 was able to correctly utilize the flight management system onboard a 757, a cockpit he never sat in before in his life, disengage the autopilot near Washington, perform some precision descending turns, level off at treetop level while flying at 400 mph, then descend to 20 feet off the ground at 530 mph in order to strike a 71 foot tall target.

All this without EVER flying a jet before in his life.

The above bears constant repetition and is the remedy to AGBloviator's constant circling back to the same discredited, frequently made up and implausible, SPIN over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.

While he would like to label those of us who look at the data and see that it does not add up to the same figures as the "Official Conspiracy Theory™" as "kooks" i.e., trying to dismiss the data not by a factual rebuttal but by schoolyard disinformation ploys and name calling if one really looks honestly at what he is trying to assert one must question not the sanity of the doubters but his.

To believe his scenario one has to believe the following:

That Hani Hanjour/Hanjour who could not, by testimony of every one of his flight instructors, safely and competently able fly a single engine propeller driven Cessna 172 (top speed 220 Knots - in a dive) suddenly and miraculously became a candidate for the Master Pilot's Hall of Fame by commandeering a Boeing 757 Jumbo Jet, overcoming a pilot and co-pilot who were both ex-military, one a decorated Fighter Jockey, who were a foot taller and a hundred pounds or so heavier, and then flying it at speeds of 400 to 530 miles an hour and was able to perform maneuvers like he was a member of Baron Friedrich Von Richtoften's Flying Circus.

When one really looks at the realities you'd have to be a kook to believe the "Official Conspiracy Theory™". Either that or a paid shill whose job it is to try and sell this implausible Fairy Tale of the incompetent pilot that could.

Your hot flashes of me moving to another site because of the delusions of 10 people on this site are the delusions.

lol.....what hot flashes? Now, ten more people have delusions

Not even 10, Toots. I'm being generous.

Unlike you, I'm not promoting Obama's budget, agenda or 911 fairy tales.

No matter what their shortcomings, doing those things would actually be more productive than your current miserable existence.

You're "Putting out thousands of words to someone you 'don't care about,'" claiming I'm "stalking" you when I shoe computer records demonstrate you're a liar, and doublespeaking about every single sentence you claim one thing and do another.

Don't you realize he is working hard on a campaign to wipe out short men and sleep with all the women?
And of course you scarf up every word of them, then deny having any ***hot flash*** episodes.

HAHAHAHAHA!

You cling to your beliefs, which relies on various impossible and/or improbable feats, such as your belief that Hanjour could have flown a 757 jumbo jet like a master pilot even though he was a totally inept "pilot" who had serious problems controlling a single engine Cessna 172

You continue to ignore the explicit quotes of the exact same person you base your k00ktales upon, where he says "There is no question" that Hanjour even though lacking adequate conventional piloting skills, nevertheless had sufficient controlling hijacked aircraft skills to take an aircraft over mid air and crash it into a target.

All your blather about flight computers, navigation, conventional piloting is nothing more than obfuscation of a simple and direct statement made by someone whom you yourself is choosing as a source: Hanjour was able to take over and crash a hijacked plane into the Pentagon.

Half Truther cherry picking at its worst.

As far as replying to all the other crap, like claiming not giving you a step by step description of how to disconnect a VORTAC from a FMS means something - when it's actually a bull$hit question because a VORTAC linked to a CDI works independently of the FMS - is not going to be addressed because you have nothing credible to go by yourself, and all you can do is nit pick on other people's accounts which actually have some research and subject matter expertise behind them.

As is par for the course you misstate the facts.

That says nothing about his ability to use the Flight Management System (which he had never seen before in his life), Navigate (for which there is zero evidence that he had ever learned that), and there is a significant difference between crashing a plane on a straight line course and putting it through set-up maneuvers that would tax the skills of a master pilot which the experienced Air Traffic Controllers watching his approach on Radar were convinced HAD to be a military flight.

No, as usual you sidestep and wave away with your magic wand all those pesky little details like a 7,000 foot descent in 2.5 minutes while making a precision 270 degree spiral. Oh, I know it was because he was a devout Muslim Fanatic who was out drinking and whoring the night before.

If it's not even 10, why claim 10? I'm merely using your numbers. I see, you were once again lying. You can't even keep it straight from one post to the next, yet you want to deem yourself credible. lol

Post any reference you can find to my use of "stalking" in relation to you and your posts. Of course, you will not be able to comply because you are, once again, lying.

Are you sure it's "thousands of words"? Have you counted all of them? Don't you have anything better to do than a word count on me? No matter, often it takes a few paragraphs to flesh out all the comic gems in response to your idiocy.

And, of course, while you are clinging to this thread with all of your might, you are oblivious to the multiple other threads on this site, to wit Turtle's crusade against short men and his diabolical plot to sleep with all the women. It's not "hot flashes" but rather what is going on beyond this thread on this forum. Once again, you open your pie hole and insert foot.

Even your jokes are epic failures......but you are no quitter. I await your feeble response. You are like a dog returning to his vomit.

I think even Buckie has you on ignore now and Turtle is laughing at you.

An 8 G turn taxes the skills of a master pilot.

A 1/2 G turn does not even tax the skills of a student pilot.

Especially when you hit the target 330 degrees from where you intended to hit it.

The experienced ATC's said the plane was flown ***like*** a military flight. Then went on to explicitly acknowledge it was a 757 but said flying a 757 in that way was "unsafe."

Yes, suicide hijackers are known to fly airplanes they hijack ***unsafely.***

You keep repeating the same lies and half truth distortions over and over. It doesn't make them any more true. It only makes you more confused.

That's what computers are for. Given your verbal diarrhea it has to be in that range. I'll leave it to you to do another useless exercise.

Oh, so now you're backing off from thousands of words and inserting this is your "estimate" which is akin to your ASSumptions and basically worthless.

I'm sure I heard you whining for facts amid all your estimations and ASSumptions.

If you insist on claiming that, in fact, I am the one that YOU can't stay away from, then I guess that makes me vomit. I can live with that. What one deems irresistable comes in many forms, at least you admit that YOU can't help yourself, no matter how many times I make fun of you and laugh at your expense. : )

LOl.....are you still telling yourself that I "care" deeply? You are consistent with your delusions of mattering. I'll throw you that little bone, Toots.

Again you selectively misrepresent the data. Did anyone mention an 8G turn? No, a diversionary Strawman Argument.

A 1/2 G 270 degree turn while descending 7,000 feet in 2.5 minutes is the full observation - not your foreshortened version to create the false impression that such a turn was a mere bagatelle.

The experienced ATC's said the plane was flown ***like*** a military flight. Then went on to explicitly acknowledge it was a 757 but said flying a 757 in that way was "unsafe."

Yes, suicide hijackers are known to fly airplanes they hijack ***unsafely.***

Sure, Herbie, sure. And every day pilots who were described as incompetent behind the stick of a single engine, propeller driven, Cessna 172 by their flight instructors do aerobatics with Jumbo Jets (even without the benefit of training or EVER flying ANY jet of ANY kind). You remind me of the "Queen of Hearts" in "Alice in Wonderland" who could believe 8 impossible things before breakfast.

Oh, by the way, love your hat, but you should learn to lighten up and smile a bit.

Are you attempting an insult with the burqua comment? Another epic failure. Is that the best you can do? I ALMOST feel sorry for your inability to craft an effective come back again and again. But, really, I think it's self interest on my part. You're so lame, it's robbing me of a bit of enjoyment, bordering on laughing at a retarded person and there's no fun in that.
