"The CIA organised a fake vaccination programme in the town where it believed Osama
bin Laden was hiding in an elaborate attempt to obtain DNA from the fugitive al-Qaida
leader's family, a Guardian investigation has found.
As part of extensive preparations for the raid that killed Bin Laden in May, CIA agents
recruited a senior Pakistani doctor to organise the vaccine drive in Abbottabad, even
starting the "project" in a poorer part of town to make it look more authentic, according
to Pakistani and US officials and local residents.
The doctor, Shakil Afridi, has since been arrested by the Inter-Services Intelligence
agency (ISI) for co-operating with American intelligence agents."
