Bin Laden underwent treatment in July at Dubai American Hospital
Osama bin Laden underwent treatment in July at the American Hospital in Dubai where he met a US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) official, French daily Le Figaro and Radio France International reported.
Quoting "a witness, a professional partner of the administrative management of the hospital," they said the man suspected by the United States of being behind the September 11 terrorist attacks had arrived in Dubai on July 4 by air from Quetta, Pakistan.
He was immediately taken to the hospital for kidney treatment. He left the establishment on July 14, Le Figaro said.
During his stay, the daily said, the local CIA representative was seen going into bin Laden's room and "a few days later, the CIA man boasted to some friends of having visited the Saudi-born millionaire."
Quoting "an authoritative source," Le Figaro and the radio station said the CIA representative had been recalled to Washington on July 15.
Bin Laden has been sought by the United States for terrorism since the bombing of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. But his CIA links go back before that to the fight against Soviet forces in Afghanistan.
Le Figaro said bin Laden was accompanied in Dubai by his personal physician and close collaborator, who could be the Egyptian Ayman al-Zawahari, as well as bodyguards and an Algerian nurse.
He was admitted to the urology department of Doctor Terry Callaway, who specializes in kidney stones and male infertility. Telephoned several times, the doctor declined to answer questions.
Several sources had reported that bin Laden had a serious kidney infection. He had a mobile dialysis machine sent to his Kandahar hideout in Afghanistan in the first half of 2000, according to "authoritative sources" quoted by Le Figaro and RFI.
The humanitarian workers who worked at those building died for America. They were heros who died for our country and should be morned. But then again, they were stupid for being there in a war zone, anyway. So, screw 'em. OBL will have to smuggle his medical supplies from somewhere other than the Red Cross!
I think that Bush should stop the food drops, unless he has use for them as propaganda against the Taliban.
Sounds good. After O'Reilly's report tonight regarding the Red Cross..... grrrrrr
2. Give your money to the Salvation Army. You would not believe the way my mom used to cuss out the Red Cross, and that was 15 years ago.
What was her beef? Inquiring minds want to know...
Prior to September 11th, I was posting the Osama bin Laden/Taliban articles in the Foreign Affairs category.
Since then, I've moved them to the News/Current Events category.
This change was intentional, because Osama bin Laden is no longer just a foreign affair.
It seems that little by little, details are seeping out. Eventually, it may be too much to be ignored.
There has been no all-encompassing pogroms in any of the places that Clinton gutted and then packed with his accomplices. That's a long-haul job. So how much do you think Bush is in control of the rogues?
Since when does one treat kidney infections with dialysis? Dialysis is for kidney failure. We can only hope.
Another hoax.
