Pakistani Doctor Who Helped Get Bin Laden Was Denied Asylum In U.S., Report Reveals -- FOX News

The jailed doctor who helped the U.S. track down Usama bin Laden was convicted by a tribal court on bogus charges, according to a classified Pakistani government report.

Portions of the voluminous 357-page Abbottobad Commission Report, which has yet to be made public and were obtained exclusively by Fox News, acknowledge Dr. Shakil Afridi’s conviction last year by a government-sponsored Jirga has undermined Pakistan’s credibility. The report calls for Afridi to be given a new trial.

The report also claims Afridi joined the CIA search for Bin Laden five years ago, while he was staying in the U.S. with a cousin. According to the report, Afridi applied for asylum after a terrorist group, Lashkar-e-Islam, stepped up its operations in Pakistan's lawless tribal belt.

My Comment: I am lost for words on this case. This is a man who deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom. But after all the promises from the White House and other senior government officials that they will help the man who helped the CIA to find Bin laden .... the truth is now known .... he was abandoned by those in Washington who were always saying publicly that they will help him. And today .... this hero .... is rotting in a Pakistani prison.
