Osama bin Laden instructed to top Al Qaeda operatives try to kill President Barack Obama and Gen. David Petraeus during any visit they made to Afghanistan or Pakistan, but to avoid attacking Vice President Joe Biden because the group thought chaos would ensue if Biden assumed the presidency, according to documents seized during the U.S. raid that killed bin Laden in Pakistan a year ago.
“The groups will remain on the lookout for Obama or Petraeus. The reason for concentrating on them is that Obama is the head of infidelity and killing him automatically will make Biden take over the presidency for the remainder of the term, as it is the norm over there,” bin Laden wrote in the undated letter released Thursday by the U.S. government. “Biden is totally unprepared for that post, which will lead the US into a crisis.”
Bin Laden said he’d given orders to set up two teams, “one in Pakistan and the other in the Bagram area of Afghanistan — with the mission of anticipating and spotting the visits of Obama or Petraeus to Afghanistan or Pakistan to target the aircraft of either one of them.”
Obama was at the Bagram Air Base near Kabul earlier this week when he made a high-security visit to Afghanistan. He has not visited Pakistan as president.
The letter mentioning Biden is unsigned, but makes reference to bin Laden’s sons in a way that identifies him as the author. It’s one of 17 documents declassified by the Obama administration and made public on a website operated by Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

“but to avoid attacking Vice President Joe Biden because the group thought chaos would ensue if Biden assumed the presidency, according to documents seized during the U.S. raid that killed bin Laden in Pakistan a year ago.”
This statement makes no sense, especially since it contradicts the quoted statements in the paragraph that follows.
Some of the secret documents of World War II were only released a few years ago. The Brits haven’t yet fully declassified their WWI files (okay, they’re a bit embarassed by them, but that’s another matter).
I suggest that the current politicians should stop releasing secret files as a campaign technique while the conflict is still going on, and risk making fools of themselves by putting political expediency ahead of the lives of our soldiers.
#1, what contradiction are you seeing? It makes perfect sense to me. Everyone knows Biden is a moron, and it would be a disaster if he were to become president, so AQ wants that to happen.
“declassified by the Obama administration”
“Biden is totally unprepared for that post, which will lead the US into a crisis.”
Nice Mr. Obama-embarrass your vp
“try to kill President Barack Obama”
and I thought Obama was on Osama’s payroll.
and I thought Obama was on Osama’s payroll.
Nobody has ever alleged that. Obama was once a Moslem, but he’s certainly not an Islamist. On the contrary, to them he’s a meshumad.
