The evidence appears to contradict the CIA chief’s claim last month that there has been no intelligence on al-Qaeda leader since 2003.
Leon Panetta said the last time the US had precise information on bin Laden’s location was in the “early 2000s”, but the intelligence reports show repeated instances in which US forces saw signs of the al-Qaeda chief.
For example, he was reported as attending meetings with recruited suicide bombers in 2006 in Pakistan.
