Iranian media on Sunday reported that Iran refuted US claims that al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was killed by US special forces in an operation in the Pakistani garrison town of Abbottabad last Sunday.
Refuting the official version given by the US administration, Iran’s Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi said that Iran has reliable information that Bin Laden died of illness some time ago.
“If the US military and intelligence apparatus have really arrested or killed bin Laden, why don’t they show him (his dead body) why have they thrown his corpse into the sea?” Moslehi asked.
He said the White House was seeking to “overshadow a regional awakening” by releasing such news.
US President Barack Obama had announced that al Qaeda kingpin Bin Laden was killed in an operation by special US forces in his hideout in Abbottabad on May 1. His body was quickly buried at sea and the US has refused to release pictures creating much controversy as many continue to question the veracity of the US claim.
NOTE: This claim contradicts with the claim of the Iranian President made one year ago, when he said that Bin Laden was living in Washington DC. Click HERE to read that YWN article, or watch video below strating from 4:45 in video.

Does Iran’s intelligence minister also have a copy of “President” Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate?
Sadly, Heidar Moslehi has more ne’emanos than Barack Hussein Obama.
as long as they admit he is dead, thats all that matters!
the nafka mina is, when shloishim is over lol!
Neh, I thought they’ll come up with a more original idea. This theory is too typical!
Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi could simply ask the 5 widows how and when Bin Laden met his end.
So both Iran & the US has confirmed that he is dead. Good.
May ajmadinjad die of illness shortly.
Iran denies the US killed him.
Palestinians say: US was wrong by Killing him
Let the Iranians fight it out with the Balestinians
