Osama Bin Laden’s body was sent to US for cremation, claims Stratfor’s boss in a leaked email

A set of emails leaked from the intelligence analysis firm Stratfor suggests the body of Osama Bin Laden was actually sent to the U.S. for cremation in a secret place, not buried at sea.

According to the emails, Osama Bin Laden was shot and killed during the famous Navy SEAL Team Six raid on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, and his remains were transported back to the U.S. and cremated.

The emails were allegedly obtained by the hacker group Anonymous from Stratfor, an organization dealing with analysis of intelligence and geopolitical analysis.

Stratfor is also known as the “Shadow CIA”.

Last week, Anonymous announced that it had gotten access to 2.7 million of the Stratfor’s confidential correspondences, and said they could provide “the smoking gun for a number of crimes”.

Anonymous said Stratfor, based in Austin, Texas, were “clueless” when it came to database security.

After Osama Bin Laden was killed in the famous raid in Pakistan on May 2 2011, the Obama administration said his body was buried at sea off the USS Carl Vinson – in accordance with Islamic tradition.

But in a particular set of emails given to WikiLeaks, Stratfor’s vice president for intelligence, Fred Burton, says he doubts the official White House version of what happened to Osama Bin Laden’s body.

Fred Burton says the body was “bound for Dover, [Delaware] on [a] CIA plane” and “onward to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Bethesda [Maryland]”.

The claims are sure to stoke conspiracy theorists, especially since the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology that Fred Burton refers to closed its doors on September 15, 2011, four months after Osama Bin Laden’s death.

In another email, Fred Burton said: “If body dumped at sea, which I doubt, the touch is very Adolph Eichman like. The Tribe did the same thing with the Nazi’s ashes.

“Eichmann was seen alive for many months on trial before being sentenced to death and executed. No one wanted a monument to him so they cremated him.”

Stratfor CEO George Friedman responded: “But i dont know anyone who claimed he wasnt eicjhman [sic]. No comparison with suddenly burying him at sea without any chance to view him which i doubt happened [sic].”

In a February 27 statement, Stratfor said: “In December, thieves compromised Stratfor’s data systems and stole a large number of company emails, along with other private information of Stratfor readers, subscribers and employees. Those stolen emails apparently will be published by Wikileaks. This is a deplorable, unfortunate – and illegal – breach of privacy.

“Some of the emails may be forged or altered to include inaccuracies; some may be authentic. We will not validate either. Nor will we explain the thinking that went into them. Having had our property stolen, we will not be victimized twice by submitting to questioning about them.”

Stratfor, which is not affiliated with the U.S. government, would not comment further.

The emails were revealed as it was reported that key members of LulzSec, of which Anonymous is an offshoot, were arrested by the FBI.

A FBI official told Fox News that the arrests were “devastating” blow to the organization, saying: “We’re chopping off the head of LulzSec.”

The “Adolph Eichman” referred to by Fred Burton was a Nazi lieutenant and a major architect of the Holocaust.

After World War II ended in 1945, Adolph Eichman was caught by U.S. forces, and he slipped through America’s fingers when he gave them a phony name.

Adolph Eichman wound up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he lived for years until he was captured by the Israeli spy agency the Mossad in 1960.

War crimes and crimes against humanity were among the charges Adolph Eichman faced when he was found guilty in an Israeli court in 1962.

Adolph Eichman was hanged, cremated, and his ashes were later spread over the Mediterranean Sea.
