RIYADH/WASHINGTON: The son of the late Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden sent a letter to the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia to ask for his father’s death certificate.
The revelation came on Thursday as WikiLeaks released a letter stating it is from the US embassy in Riyadh.
In response to Abdullah bin Laden’s request, the embassy wrote to inform him that no death certificate was issued for the his father.
“This is consistent with regular practice for individuals killed in the course of military operations,” reads the leaked document.
The letter is signed by Glen Keiser, the US consul general in Riyadh and addressed to Abdullah bin Laden on September 9, 2011, about four months after a US raid killed his father in Pakistan after a decade-long manhunt.
