Bin Laden claims to be alive, here's where he's living.

Former specialist of The NSA that caused a global earthquake with its findings, Edward Snouden, has made another controversial statement, saying it possesses classified information proving bin Laden is still alive.

Snouden, who lives on the run in Russia after producing documents on the NSA's wiretapping programme, has already made untested statements about the famous terrorist Osama bin Laden during an interview with the Moscow Times.

According to him, not only is bin Laden still alive, but he lives amid luxury in the Bahamas, thanks to regular CIA payments.

I have documents showing bin Laden still being paid by CIA”, claims Edward Snowden. It continues to receive more than $100,000 a month, which is transferred through several businesses and organisations, directly to its Nassau bank account. I'm not sure where he is now, but in 2013 he lived quietly in his villa, along with his five wives and children”.

Snouden says the CIA has orchestrated the false death of former al-Qaeda leader, while he has actually been transported with his family to a secret location in the Bahamas.

For a long time, bin Laden was one of the CIA's most efficient operatives, claims Snouden. “What kind of message would they send to the other operatives if they let the SEELS kill him? They allegedly organised his death in collaboration with the Pakistani secret service, and bin Laden simply abandoned the mask. Because everyone believed that he died, no one asked for him anymore, so it was very easy for him to disappear. Without a beard and a military jacket, no one knows”.

Snouden says documents proving bin Laden is still alive will be reproduced integrally in his new book, due to be released in September.
