'Osama, the untold story', by Muhammad Bilal Iftikhar Khan, appeared in The Post, 4 June 2008. Cached
Khan relates that ‘Wild justice’ by Wilbur Smith is about a 'Middle Eastern' terrorist who leaves his signature ‘Caliph’ wherever he commits his terror acts.
In the end it is revealed that the Caliph works for Mossad and the CIA.
According to Khan, Osama bin Laden may be similar to the Caliph.
Khan explains that the Turkish newspaper Zaman revealed that “Turkish intelligence specialists agree that there is no such organisation as al Qaeda. Rather, al Qaeda is the name of a secret service operation. The concept ‘fighting terror’ is the background of the ‘low-intensity-warfare’ conducted in the mono-polar world order. The subject of this strategy of tension is named as al Qaeda.”

Khan tells us how Osama has helped the USA.
1. In the Sudan, Chevron fell out with the Sudan government in the period 1985-1992. Sudan oil
The USA got angry with Sudan for giving oil contracts to China.
The USA found it convenient that Osama lived in the Sudan from 1991 to 1996.
In 1993, the U.S. State Department designated Sudan as a country that supported terrorists, and U.S. President Clinton on November 3, 1997 signed an executive order imposing economic sanctions on any U.S. person doing business with Sudan. Sudan oil
The USA wanted an excuse for “American and international humanitarian intervention” in the strategic “horn of Africa.” The USA attacked an alleged chemical weapon factory in the Sudan.
2. The USA wanted a Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan gas pipeline.
Osama bin Laden moved to Afghanistan in order to help Unocal in its dealings with the Taliban.
Osama helped the USA eliminate Iranian influence in Afghanistan.
3. Osama's alleged attack on 9 11 helped the Bush regime, by giving it an excuse to invade more countries and build more military bases abroad.
“The process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbour.” (Rebuilding America’s Defenses - Project for New American Century http://www.newamericancentury.org/)
Agence France-Presse (AFP) released news on October 30, 2001, that Osama bin Laden was in Dubai for treatment in an American hospital in July 2001 and there he met a CIA operative.

The USA did not want to capture Osama(http://www.tribuneindia.com/2006/20061221/world.htm#5)
4. When Iraq 'became a quagmire for the US', al Qaeda 'jumped in and started a sectarian civil war to take away pressure from the US forces.'
Al Qaeda is used by the USA for its terrorist actions in Iranian Balochistan and Siestan or Iranian Kurdistan or Khuzistan.
According to Seymour Hersh, the USA is financing and equipping al Qaeda-related militants to neutralise Hezbollah and the Syrian regime. (The Redirection, New Yorker, issue of 2007-03-05)
