“Bin Laden believed “his network was strong enough he’d get a heads-up” before any U.S. strike against him.”
Politico:
Osama bin Laden had cash totaling 500 Euros and two telephone numbers sewn into his clothing when he was killed — sure signs that he was prepared to flee his compound at a moment’s notice — top U.S. intelligence officials told members of Congress at a classified briefing in the Capitol Monday. Three sources who attended the briefing confirmed the details and a fourth said he had been told the same thing by a reliable source outside Monday’s meeting. CIA Director Leon Panetta told lawmakers about the items found in bin Laden’s clothing in response to a question about why he wasn’t guarded by more security personnel at his relatively luxurious home in a military town north of Islamabad. The answer, according to one source who attended the briefing: Bin Laden believed “his network was strong enough he’d get a heads-up” before any U.S. strike against him.
Our pals in Pakistan!
