Iran denounces CIA 'fake news' in declassified Bin Laden files
2017-11-04
[DAWN] Iran has accused the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of spreading "fake news" about the Islamic Theocratic Republic with newly declassified files seized in the 2011 raid in Pakistain in which Al Qaeda chief the late Osama bin Laden
... who doesn't live anywhere anymore...
was killed.

The CIA on Wednesday released 470,000 additional files found in May 2011 when United States (US) Navy SEALs burst into Bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad
... A pleasant city located only 30 convenient miles from Islamabad. The city is noted for its nice weather and good schools. It is the site of Pakistain's military academy, which was within comfortable walking distance of the residence of the late Osama bin Laden....
and shot him dead.

According to scholars from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), who were allowed to see the trove before it was made public, the files shed new light on the murky relationship between the terror group and Iran.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif dismissed the allegations.

"A record low for the reach of petrodollars: CIA and FDD fake news with selective Al Qaeda docs re: Iran can't whitewash role of US allies in 9/11," he wrote on Twitter late on Thursday.
