Did Osama's wife really sell him out to the CIA? I'm not convinced

I'm not sure that all the world really is a stage any longer. It appears to have become a vast, flimsy soap opera set, within which no story, no matter how serious, cannot be trivialized into gossip. It has taken a decade for the 9/11 atrocities to reach a point where the world is invited to speculate about whether Osama Bin Laden got his come-uppance via the agency of his jealous eldest wife, Khairiah Saber. But at last the day has come. A retired Pakistani army officer, Brigadier Shaukat Qadir, is the originator of the theory. "Hell," he offered in support of his claim, "hath no fury like a woman scorned." Qadir is a patriot, and says that in the aftermath of the US raid on Bin Laden, he felt "ashamed". It would appear that he may have his own reasons for wishing to blame a bitter older woman, and a Saudi to boot. Perhaps he is right, and this really is yet another case of "cherchez la femme". I'm not convinced.
