Last interview of Osama bin Laden By Hamid Mir

When American-led bombing is going on in Afghanistan to revenge the attacks in the Twin Towers in Washington and New York, when the US is looking for Osama bin Laden, the world's biggest terrorist in the eyes, Pakistan's journalist Hamid Mir spoke to bin Laden.

Hamid Mir, who had interviewed Osama bin Laden, had to face a lot of criticism.
However, Hamid Mir told the BBC that although many agree with the ideology of Osama bin Laden, he was the source of news for journalists. So, "I think that as a journalist I am a witness in history."

After the attack on the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, US President George W. Bush said he wanted justice for demolition and death. America wants to capture alive or dead - Osama bin Laden

"When I entered Afghanistan - there was a horrible situation there. The scene of the scene is unaccountable, destruction is everywhere, dead body. I was telling myself - why are you crazy? Why are you here? "

A person close to al-Qaida, known to Hamid Mir, in early 2001, fixed a man from Al Qaeda with him to take him along to Kabul. Hamid Mir's idea was that he was taken to Kabul by night blindfolded by an ambulance in the dark of night. Where America is taking him, then the United States is attacking a strong air force.

"That night was very difficult for me. All Al Qaeda fighters who were there, want to die. Everyone wants to be martyred. The attack on the building is being carried out. I then wrote a letter to my wife and said - I'm sorry - I'll die here - look at the kids. "

Hamid Mir had previously met Osama bin Laden twice. Hamid Mir openly criticized the work of Bin Laden, but bin Laden told him that Hamid Mir had gained his confidence in expressing his speech correctly to the outside world.

But when Hamid Mir first met bin Laden in 1997, he did not know much about bin Laden.

"I came to him through the then Taliban leader Mullah Umar. Believe me, I did not know Osama bin Laden. I asked - who is he? Mr. Umar told me that he is the person who attacked Americans in Somalia and killed Pakistani soldiers. "

Mullah Umar told him bin Laden his guest in Afghanistan He said that he would arrange for Hamid Mir's meeting with bin Laden. "Then they took me to Torabora hill."

"I remember the time in the evening. When I entered a cave on the hill, some Arabs stopped me. My whole body began to search, even in my jangia, they were searching and searching. I started shouting. Because their behavior was not very civilized. Suddenly a tall man came in - asked - what happened? They were speaking Arabic with him. I understand that Osama bin Laden. "

Hamid Mir said bin Laden was very polite and humble. He apologized to him - it's part of their security test. He said that when his family members came to meet him, they were tested in the same way.

They were seen again in 1998. It is speculated that Mr bin Laden has supported a number of terrorist attacks by providing money for him. He said he was planning more violence - more dramatic attacks - especially on America.
Then came the September 9, 2001, historical and dramatic attack on the Twin Towers.

Where was Hamid Mir at the time of the attack?
Hamid Mir says he was in his office.
"The end of the afternoon is then One came from Afghanistan to meet me. Never seen him before. He gave me a watch and said that it is a gift of Sheikh. I watched Osama bin Laden wear the wrist watch when I interviewed him the second time. Whenever the prayer was going on, the alarm was playing on that watch. I recognized the clock. I realized that Osama bin Laden sent the gift. "

Hamid Mir asked that person - why did Sheikh send him? The man told him that he would give a letter to Hamid Mir. But for now, he asked for permission to sit in his office and said that on CNN or BBC, on TV one channel should leave a little.

"After a while I went home and saw that the man is bouncing, dancing. I asked - what happened? He said - Watch TV on the American attack! I said - that's an air crash. But I saw that he was shouting. And saying - another attack - Second attack. She was so excited about it - I think she was a very dangerous man. "

The September 11 attacks killed nearly three thousand people. The unprecedented unprecedented attack was astonishing the world. After the second airplane hit the South Tower of World Trade Center, the ambassador from Afghanistan handed over a letter to Hamid Mir. The letter wrote Osama bin Laden.

'' That was a small statement. It was written that I appreciate those who have carried out this operation. But I am not directly responsible for this attack. "
Hamid Mir published the letter. The brawl falls through the news of the whole world. Many news programs interviewed him. Many people criticize him with great criticism that he is very close to Al Qaeda.
