CIA's 'fake vaccine drive' to get Bin Laden family DNA

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-14117438

The CIA ran a fake vaccine programme in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad to try to get a DNA sample from the family of Osama Bin Laden, media reports say.

The Guardian newspaper says CIA agents recruited a Pakistani doctor there to organise the vaccination drive. The paper says he has since been arrested.

The CIA has refused to comment on the report, which comes as tensions run high between Islamabad and Washington.

The al-Qaeda chief was killed in a US commando raid on his compound on 2 May.

1. I hope that those fake vaccines didn't contain Thimerosal.
