Whistle blowing website wikileaks claims a son to Osama Bin Laden demanded for the death certificate of his father. According to the website Abdullah Bin Laden requested for the certificate a few months after the Al-Qaeda was killed by US forces in Pakistan in 2011.

This is part of the over 500,000 Saudi Arabia foreign ministry papers which Wikileaks will be releasing soon.

The documents released by wikileaks also contain the US reply to Abdullah's request dated September 9, 201. wherein
Mr Keiser explains that no death certificate was ever issued.

"This is consistent with regular practice for individuals killed in the course of military operations," he wrote.

However, instead of a death certificate he provides US court records which prove that Bin Laden died.
The US also provides an Arabic translation as a "courtesy."
"I hope that these US government documents are of assistance to you and your family," Mr Keiser concludes.
There is no explanation as to why Abdullah Bin Laden was seeking a death certificate for his father.

Wikileaks was founded by Julian Assange. The release of the "Saudi Cables" marks three years to the day that Mr Assange sought refuge at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London after two women in Sweden accused him of rape and sexual assault.
