Terror chief’s daughter witnessed his killing

A SENIOR Pakistani intelligence official revealed that one of Osama bin Laden’s daughters had seen her father being shot dead by US forces, and was one of about 10 relatives of the al-Qaida leader in custody pending interrogation.

The official, who declined to be identified, said the daughter, aged 12 or 13, was one of the people who had confirmed that the mastermind of the September 11, 2001, attacks had been killed by US commandos in the raid.

It also emerged that bin Laden did not use one of his four wives as a human shield in his dying moments, contrary to earlier reports, as White House officials began to “clarify” early accounts of the commando raids by US special forces.
