Osama died of lung disease in Afghanistan: Report

K J M Varma (PTI)
Islamabad, December 25

Terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden died of a serious lung disease in
Afghanistan's Tora Bora mountains earlier this month, a Pakistani daily
reported today quoting an unnamed Taliban commander. The Taliban
official, who claimed to have attended the low-key funeral of bin Laden,
said that Osama who suffered from serious complications in the lungs
succumbed to the disease for lack of proper medical attention, Pakistan
Observer reported.

Asked whether he could point out the place of bin Laden's burial, the
Taliban commander, who requested anonymity, said: "I am sure that like
other places in Tora Bora that particular place too must have vanished,"
meaning that it was obliterated by US aerial bombing.

Bin Laden's burial was attended by his close aides including his most
trusted body guards, family members and some 'Taliban friends', he said.

As his body was lowered into the grave, his body guards fired a volley
of bullets into the air as a mark of respect, he said.

The coalition troops are engaged in a mad search operation but they
would never be able to fulfil their cherished goal of getting Osama
alive or dead, the report quoted him as saying.
