Was Osama bin Laden betrayed by scorned wife?

[Ci7]

A frail Osama bin Laden lived out his final days in a poisonous atmosphere cooped up with two wives who suspected a third of plotting his betrayal, according to a new account of his life and death in Pakistan.

Research by Brigadier Shaukat Qadir, a retired Pakistani army officer, paints the al-Qaida leader as a feeble figure, struggling with the onset of dementia aged just 54 and unable to keep the women in his life from quarrelling in the cramped, three-storey house shared by 27 people.

And it offers a tantalising hint that the world's most wanted man may have been brought down by a scorned wife.

The terrorist leader was killed when U.S. special forces raided the walled compound in Abbottabad - barely 30 miles from the capital, Islamabad - on May 2 last year.

Brigadier Qadir pieced together events leading up to the raid from interviews with security officials, transcripts of the interrogation of one of bin Laden's wives, Amal Ahmed Abdel-Fatah al-Sada, by the Pakistanis and rare visits to the compound. There, the world's most wanted man lived and died on the third floor of the house, where he shared a room with al-Sada, his youngest and favourite wife. A second wife, Siham Saber, used a room across the landing.

But their harmonious existence was upset by the arrival early last year of a third wife, Khairiah Saber, the most senior of the three. She moved into a bedroom on the floor below, several months after being freed from custody in Iran.

"The younger two wives had lived together happily. It was only when Khairiah arrived that these other two had a problem with her," said Brigadier Qadir. "The idea I get is that Osama was indifferent but the rest of his family didn't like her at all, because they were suspicious of her motives."

It's a nice story, would make a good novel, but who knows if any of it has even a hint of truth in it.
