The Dhaka Times Desk It's been a long time since bin Laden died. But writing about him is not over yet. The information this time is that Nawaz Sharif took a lot of money from Laden!
According to media reports citing Daily Dawn as a source, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif took money from Osama bin Laden, the former leader of Al-Qaeda. A new book titled Khalid Khawaja: 'Shaheed-e-Aman', written by Shamama Khalid, wife of former ISI operative Khalid Khawaja, recently made such a claim.
In the book, he wrote, 'PML-N chief Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif received financial assistance from Al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden to contest elections with the Benazir Bhutto-led Pakistan People's Party (PPP) after Zia's (Pakistani dictator Ziaul Haq) regime. !'
The book claims, 'Nawaz Sharif talked about launching an Islamic system, which attracted Khalid Khawaja and Bin Laden. But al-Qaeda spent huge money behind Nawaz Sharif, but when he came to power, he forgot all the promises.' A note by Lt Gen Hamid Gul, former Director General of ISI has also been added to this book!
