Two months before September 11 Osama bin Laden flew to Dubai for 10 days for treatment at the American Hospital, where he was visited by the local CIA agent, according to the French newspaper Le Figaro.
The disclosures are known to come from French intelligence which is keen to reveal the ambiguous role of the CIA, and to restrain Washington from extending the war to Iraq and elsewhere. Bin Laden is reported to have arrived in Dubai on July 4 from Quetta in Pakistan with his own personal doctor, nurse and four bodyguards, to be treated in the urology department. While there he was visited by several members of his family and Saudi personalities, and the CIA.
The CIA chief was seen in the lift, on his way to see Bin Laden, and later, it is alleged, boasted to friends about his contact. He was recalled to Washington soon afterwards.
Intelligence sources say that another CIA agent was also present; and that Bin Laden was also visited by Prince Turki al Faisal, then head of Saudi intelligence, who had long had links with the Taliban, and Bin Laden. Soon afterwards Turki resigned, and more recently he has publicly attacked him in an open letter: "You are a rotten seed, like the son of Noah".
The American Hospital in Dubai emphatically denied that Bin Laden was a patient there.
Washington last night also denied the story...............(Source: click here)But is Washington simply putting up a smoke screen here, especially when the French report raises some monstrous questions as to why the CIA would be meeting with bin Laden a couple of months before 9/11, especially when he was already a wanted man with a huge price put on his head by the U.S. for bombing two American embassies in Africa? Here is another article excerpt that backs up the Guardian account:
