The international medical charity Doctors Without Borders has denounced the CIA for setting up a fake vaccination program in Pakistan in order to gain access to the compound where Osama bin Laden was hiding. According to the organization, the scheme could hamper efforts to provide medical services in poor nations, particularly in those where distrust of the United States is already high. Last week, The Guardian newspaper revealed the CIA initiated the program to obtain DNA from the al-Qaeda leader’s family. A senior Pakistani doctor who was recruited by the CIA for the project is now being held in Pakistan after being arrested by the Inter-Services Intelligence for cooperating with U.S. intelligence agents. The United States has petitioned for the doctor’s release, offering to allow him and his family to resettle in the United States. Though the medication used in the bogus campaign was real, the medical professionals carrying out the ruse failed to provide the full course of vaccinations.
