Bin-Laden letters found in raid

Near the Pakistan-Afghan border, bin-Laden letters are found in raid by U.S. secret service agents

Saudi’s Al-Watan reported Thursday, Jan. 31, on letters, found by U.S. secret service agents operating near the Pakistan-Afghan border, signed by al-Qaeda leader Osama bin-Laden.

Citing unnamed local security sources, the newspaper said that the letters are allegedly handwritten in Arabic and bear Bin Laden’s apparent signature and seal.

They appear to have been sent last December to some of Bin Laden’s followers in the region.

One of the letters is addressed to the Taliban leader in Afghanistan’s volatile southern province of Helmand, Mansoor Dadallah.

In the letter, Bin Laden reportedly offers condolences to Dadallah, the brother of Mullah Dadallah, late Taliban leader in Helmand, who was killed last year in a US air strike.

After his brother’s death, Mansoor Dadullah claimed he had received a letter from Bin Laden in an interview with satellite Arabic TV network Al-Jazeera.

Mansoor spent several years in jail and was freed in March 2007 as part of a deal that secured release of a kidnapped Italian reporter, held by Taliban militants for two weeks.

A good question might be, why a deal releasing an al-Qaeda leader?
