ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – A doctor who helped the CIA find Osama bin Laden has been barred from leaving Pakistan, a commission investigating the killing of the Al Qaeda leader said yesterday.
Dr. Shakil Afridi ran a phony vaccination program in the Pakistani town where the Al Qaeda leader hid in an effort to obtain a DNA sample from him. Afridi is being detained by Pakistani authorities, but has not been charged with any crime.
American officials want him released, and his fate has become a complicating issue in strained relations between the two countries’ spy services. There has been speculation Afridi and his family may leave Pakistan if he is freed.
