An al-Qaida leader was killed by a missile that was launched from the American Predator unmanned plane in the east of Afghanistan. The intelligence has found bin Laden. The CIA headquarters received the information, which said that there had been three people noticed in the area of Zhawar-Kili district, not far from the Tora Bora fortress. Those people were surrounded by the retinue. The people were wearing the white clothes and the intelligence recognized them as the leaders of the al-Qaida movement, taking into consideration the fact that those events were happening very near to one of the training camps of the terrorists.
The Americans could not tolerate such impudence, so a Predator took off. We will probably never know, who those people in white were. Maybe they were someone from al-Qaida or Taliban supervisors, maybe they were some shepherds, who had to suffer from American retaliation. Everyone remembers the controversy with the bombing of the column of the Afghan elders, heading to Kabul for Hamid Karzai’s inauguration. Then there was another outstanding incident, when the American special troops destroyed the detachment of one of the field commanders by mistake, killing over 20 people. By the way, the Americans have searched the Tora Bora cave complex all over. Where did those people in white come from then?
