Wikileaks: Stratfor bosses thought Osama bin Laden body was flown to US
Executives at an American private intelligence firm believed that Osama’s bin Laden body was not buried at sea but taken for examination in the United States, according to leaked emails.
Fred Burton, vice president for intelligence at Stratfor, wrote to a colleague at 5.51am on May 2, the day the al-Qaeda leader was ed, saying: “Body bound for Dover, DE on CIA plane. Than [sic] onward to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Bethesda.”
An earlier email from Burton to colleagues stated: “Reportedly, we took the body with us. Thank goodness.”
However, in his last communication on the subject with George Friedman, Stratfor’s chief utive, at 3.10pm, Mr Burton wrote: “: “Down and dirty done, He already sleeps with the fish…”
The email was among a trove of five million messages hacked from the firm’s servers by the Anonymous group and placed on the Internet by WikiLeaks.
Mr Burton had boasted in other emails about his “trusted former CIA cronies” and promised to glean information about a classified FBI investigation. Before joining Stratfor he was deputy chief of the counter-terrorism division in the state department's diplomatic security service.
