The body of Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was not buried at sea, according to leaked emails of intelligence firm Stratfor, as revealed by WikiLeaks.

Stratfor’s vice-president for intelligence, Fred Burton, believes the body was “bound for Dover, [Delaware] on [a] CIA plane” and then “onward to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Bethesda [Maryland],” an email says.

The official version is that the body of Al-Qaeda’s top man, who was killed by a US raid in Pakistan on May 2, 2011, was buried at an undisclosed location at sea in a proper Muslim ceremony.

My Comment: This is not the first time that I have heard rumors of this sort. A friend of mine who use to work for an intelligence agency of a European country mentioned to me a few months after the Bin Laden operation that the story of Bin laden being buried at sea within a day of his death should be treated with a great deal of skepticism. Hmmmm .... after reading these news reports .... it looks like he may have had a point.
