Ayman al-Zawahiri betrayed Osama: Saudi paper
DUBAI: Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was betrayed by his deputy Ayman al- Zawahiri who led US forces to his hideout as the two were involved in an intense power struggle, a Saudi newspaper has reported.
The two top al Qaeda men had differences and the courier who led US forces to bin Laden was working and had more loyalties for Zawahiri, al Watan newspaper reported quoting Arab sources.
"The Egyptian faction of al-Qaeda led by Zawahiri was defacto running the militant group, after bin Laden was taken ill in 2004 and they were trying to take full control," the paper said.
The courier was a Pakistani national and not a Kuwaiti as the US suspected and the man knew he was being followed but disguised the fact.

My first thought is CIA/Saudi PSYOPs to create an internal rift in al queda.
My concern is that Pakistan has been supporting terrorism for a long time. They were a major source in the export of nuclear weapons technology knowledge to Iran.
If there is a “land bridge” that has no international checkpoints between Pakistan and Iran, I see very bad things in the future for the Middle East.
India has been dealing with the terrorist government of Pakistan for decades and knows them best. I really think that something needs to be done about their nuclear capability and weapons. Unfortunately it may be too late to prevent some of them from going off and killing innocent people.
Don’t worry, they will not allow that.He is community organizer, liason betweeen AQ, MB, Soros and NATO.
