abstract:Shakil Afridi (}}) — or Shakeel Afridi — is a Pakistani physician who helped the CIA run a fake vaccine program in Abbottabad, Pakistan, to confirm Osama bin Laden's presence in the city by obtaining DNA samples. Details of his activities emerged during the Pakistani investigation of the deadly raid on bin Laden's residence.
Pakistani doctor ShakilAfridi, who helped the CIA track down al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, is regarded as a traitor by Pakistan's security agencies.
It is just plain wrong that anyone in the U.S. government leaked the name of the CIA asset in Pakistan, Dr ShakilAfridi, who was recruited by the agency in its quest to find bin Laden.
Rohrabacher tells Gaffney that one area where US intervention is badly needed, however, is concerning the imprisonment of Dr. ShakilAfridi in Pakistan, the man who gave the US government the information it needed to verify the location of Osama bin Laden.
