VID -Frost over the World - Benazir Bhutto - Nov07-Very interesting! At 6min 12sec in interview Bhutto states Omar Sheik murdered Osama Bin Laden!

WOW, good find!!!

Whao!

I thought when I read your OP that perhaps you may have heard it incorrectly.....nope, it's totally clear.

I thought also that maybe she had mispoke and it would come out later in the interview with a correction or something.....nope, totally said and taken.

Again, WHAO!

Five star find dude.

I heard what you did, EWO - how come David Frost didn't stop right there and change the course of the interview and say, "how do you know OBL was killed by Omar Skeik?" He never "blinked an eye". Very odd and I can add it to the things that make me go "hmmm". Thank you for sharing.

Excellent find...and the FROST DUDE heard her and never said a word!!!

this needs to get passed around

Good Question, Inquiring minds want to know!

so obl's been dead for quite some time. hmmmmm.

You never cease to amaze EWO!

Nice find.

whoops. further down the original link, they said it was a mistake she made. it was daniel pearl, not obl, that was murdered.

Please show me the link where it says this was a mistake!

WOW!!!!!!! Unfreakin real.......crap........how can you mistake one for the other

are you sure she's not talking about another Osama Bin Laden?

If that were the case, you'd think she'd make that clear!

Omar Sheik is working for/with the FSB and probably has murdered OBL - I have thought this for a long time, maybe even the Ruskies have OBL stashed away somewhwere!

Bump

who is omar sheik?

Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh (Urdu: احمد عمر سعید شیخ) (sometimes known as Omar Sheikh, Sheikh Omar[1], Sheik Syed[2], or by the alias "Mustafa Muhammad Ahmad"[3]) (b. December 23, 1973) is a British-born militant of Pakistani descent with alleged links to various Islamic-based organisations, including Jaish-e-Mohammed, Al-Qaeda, and Harkat-ul-Mujahideen.

He was arrested and served time in prison for the 1994 abduction of several British nationals in India, an act which he acknowledges, he was released from captivity in 1999 and provided safe passage into Pakistan, apparently with the support of Pakistan and the Taleban (the hijackers were Pakistanis) in an Indian Airlines plane hijacking. He is most well-known for his alleged role in the 2002 kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. Sheikh Omar Saeed was arrested by Pakistani police on February 12, 2002, in Lahore, in conjunction with the Pearl kidnapping,[4] and was sentenced to death on July 15, 2002[5] for killing Pearl. His judicial appeal has not yet been heard. The delay has been alleged to be due to his reported links with Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence.[6]

Pakistani President, Pervez Musharraf, in his book In the Line of Fire stated that Sheikh was originally recruited by British intelligence agency, MI6, while studying at the London School of Economics. He alleges Omar Sheikh was sent to the Balkans by MI6 to engage in jihadi operations. Musharraf later went on to state "At some point, he probably became a rogue or double agent".[7]

His complicity in the execution and the reasons behind it are in dispute.[8] At his initial court appearance, he stated, "I don't want to defend this case. I did this...Right or wrong, I had my reasons. I think that our country shouldn't be catering to America's needs."[9], but he subsequently appealed his conviction and is awaiting further progress while in prison. Sheikh's lawyer has stated he will base his client's appeal on the recent admission of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed that he is the killer of Daniel Pearl.[8][10]

[edit] Early life

In his youth he attended Forest School, Walthamstow, an independent school in North-East London, whose alumni include English cricket captain Nasser Hussain and Peter Greenaway, the filmmaker. Between the ages of 14 and 16 he attended school in Pakistan, where his family had relocated, before returning to the United Kingdom to continue at Forest School.[11] He told school friends that he had been in Pakistan learning about jihad, but was not believed. He was a fine chess-player and won a junior London championship. Later, he attended the London School of Economics, where he studied Applied Mathematics and Economics. At the LSE, he came under the influence of Islamic fundamentalists and was instrumental in recruiting students to the cause around London.

[edit] Kidnapping of American and British nationals, 1994

He served five years in prison in New Delhi in the 1990s in connection with the 1994 abduction of three British travellers, Myles Croston, 28, Paul Rideout, 26 and Rhys Partridge, 27, and one American, Béla Nuss, 43.[5]

[edit] Hijacking and Release from prison

In 1999, Indian Airlines Flight 814 was hijacked from Nepal .Its hijackers demanded his release along with Maulana Masood Azhar and Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar,who were leaders of Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, to Pakistan.[11] The plane landed in Kandahar and Taliban militia surrounded the plane, pre-empting any Indian commando operation. After negotiations between the India government and the hijackers, the hostages were freed eight days after the hijacking occurred.Omar Sheikh along with the two other prisoners were released in exchange for the hostages.

[edit] Media descriptions

The Times describes Saeed Sheikh as "no ordinary terrorist but a man who has connections that reach high into Pakistan's military and intelligence elite and into the innermost circles of Osama Bin Laden and the al-Qaeda organization." According to ABC, Sheikh began working for Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence in 1993. By 1994 he was operating training camps in Afghanistan and had earned the title of bin Laden's "special son."[citation needed]

In May 2002, the Washington Post quotes an unnamed Pakistani as saying that the ISI paid Sheikh's legal fees during his 1994 trial in India on charges of kidnap. However, this claim has not been confirmed by any other source.

US authorities have also named Saeed Sheikh as a key figure in the funding of the 9/11 attacks. [12]

[edit] Alleged connection to 9/11

On October 6, 2001, a senior-level U.S. government official told CNN that U.S. investigators had discovered Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh (Sheik Syed), using the alias "Mustafa Muhammad Ahmad" had sent about $100,000 from the United Arab Emirates to Mohammed Atta. "Investigators said Atta then distributed the funds to conspirators in Florida in the weeks before the deadliest acts of terrorism on U.S. soil that destroyed the World Trade Center, heavily damaged the Pentagon and left thousands dead. In addition, sources have said Atta sent thousands of dollars -- believed to be excess funds from the operation -- back to Saeed in the United Arab Emirates in the days before September 11. CNN later confirmed this. [1]

The 9/11 Commission's Final Report states that the source of the funds "remains unknown."

More than a month after the money transfer was discovered, the head of ISI, General Mahmoud Ahmad resigned from his position. It was reported that the FBI was investigating the possibility that Gen. Ahmed ordered Saeed Sheikh to send the $100,000 to Atta [2]; there were also claims that Indian intelligence had already produced proof for the Pakistani administration that this was so.

The Wall Street Journal was one of the only Western news organizations to follow up on the story, citing the Times of India: "US authorities sought General Mahmoud Ahmad's removal after confirming the fact that $100,000 was wired to WTC hijacker Mohammed Atta from Pakistan by Ahmad Umar Sheikh at the instance of General Mahmoud."[3] Another Indian newspaper, the Daily Excelsior, quoting FBI sources, reported that the "FBI’s examination of the hard disk of the cellphone company Omar Sheikh had subscribed to led to the discovery of the "link" between him and the deposed chief of the Pakistani ISI, Mahmoud Ahmad. And as the FBI investigators delved deep, sensational reports surfaced with regard to the transfer of 100,000 dollars to Mohammed Atta, one of the kamikaze pilots who flew his Boeing into the World Trade Centre. General Mahmoud Ahmad, the FBI investigators found, fully knew about the transfer of money to Atta."[4]

The Pittsburgh Tribune notes that "There are many in Musharraf's government who believe that Saeed Sheikh's power comes not from the ISI, but from his connections with our own CIA."[5]

Sheikh rose to prominence with the 2002 killing of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, who at the time was in Pakistan investigating connections between the ISI and Islamic militant groups. In Pakistan, Sheikh was sentenced to death for killing Pearl, however his complicity in the execution and the reasons behind it are in dispute.

In an opinion piece published by the Wall Street Journal, Tunku Varadarajan has claimed that “It is a fact that General Mahmoud Ahmad, then head of the ISI, wired $100,000 to Mohammed Atta before 9/11 through an intermediary."[13]

[edit] Pearl kidnapping

Sheikh Omar Saeed was arrested by Pakistani police on February 12, 2002, in Lahore, in conjunction with the Pearl kidnapping,[14] He told the Pakistani court, however, that he had surrendered to the Inter-Services Intelligence Agency a week earlier.[15]

I have to agree excellent find,I enjoyed hearing her speak.Quite bizzare nothing is said over OBL having been murdered.We'll never see this video in the US...Quite suspicious timing.


And oh yeah...Daniel Pearl and Osama Bin Laden,Sound exactly alike,I tend to get tongue twisted over their names too

Yeah other countries know Osama is dead but our media keeps spinning that he is alive to keep the ignorant followers of Bush scared.

Not to mention,Supposedly there is gonna be another "Osama" message released tomorrow.
