‘New York Times’: CIA paid release to al-Qaeda

The United States unwittingly paid a recover to al-Qaeda by bags of income delivered by a CIA to a tip account for a Afghan government, The New York Times .

The recover enclosed about $1 million from U.S. taxpayers as partial of a $5 million remuneration for a recover of an Afghan diplomat.

The Times USA TODAY could not exclusively endorse a New York Times report, that relies on unknown Afghan sources for a many explosve allegation: that a CIA was a source of recover income paid to al-Qaeda.

That income helped compensate for al-Qaeda operations during a time when worker strikes had decimated a organization, a Times

But al-Qaeda personality Osama bin Laden disturbed that a income remuneration could be a CIA trick, and that a income was possibly laced with poison or able of being tracked, a Times

Those letters were performed by a Navy special army group during a 2011 raid on bin Laden’s Pakistan compound, that killed bin Laden and seized his computers and other documents. Those papers were entered into justification in a terrorism hearing of Abid Naseer, convicted in Brooklyn this month in a wide-ranging tract to explosve a New York City subway, among other targets.

Documents seized in a raid fact association between bin Laden and a tip al-Qaeda commander, Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, over what to do with al-Qaeda’s $5 million windfall.

“God sanctified us with a good volume of income this month,” al-Rahman wrote to bin Laden, according to a Times

The income went to secure a leisure of Abdul Khaliq Farahi, an Afghan diplomat who had been hold serf for dual years. United States law forbids a remuneration of ransoms to militant organizations, though it’s misleading what a CIA knew about where a tip payments were going or when it schooled of a recover payment.

The CIA declined to comment.
