The Hunt for Bin Laden - EP 173
from The Conspiracy Podcast Hosted by The Conspiracy Podcast
www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast Nine and a half years after President Bush said he wanted Osama bin Laden “dead or alive,” Navy SEALs entered a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Thirty-eight minutes later, the most wanted man in the world was dead, and his body was gone within a day. In this final chapter of The Conspiracy Podcast’s 9/11 series, Eric, Sean and Jorge follow the hunt from start to finish, as the War on Terror unfolds around it. The story starts at Tora Bora in 2001, where bin Laden was within reach and walked away. It moves through the Iraq detour, the black sites and the courier whose nickname finally led investigators to a three-story compound with no phone line, no internet and a tall man who paced the courtyard but never let a camera see his face. Then the hosts walk through the raid minute by minute, from the helicopter crash in the courtyard to the competing accounts of who fired the shots, and the White House story that changed in three days. Then come the questions the government never answered. Where is the proof? Why were no photos released? Why did no sailors watch the burial? The hosts rank the theories from believable to far-fetched and open the files from the compound itself, including the details that were never meant to become public. Whatever you believe happened that night, there’s one thing nobody has been shown.
