Osama bin Laden fled to Pak disguised as woman: Ex-CIA officer
Ex-CIA officer John Kiriakou revealed that Osama bin Laden fled Afghanistan disguised as woman after US forces thought they had cornered him. A translator, secretly an Al Qaeda operative, misled US troops, allowing Osama to escape to Pakistan, where he remained in hiding until a 2011 Navy SEAL raid. He also called Pakistan's then-leader Musharraf "essentially purchased" by the US.
