Bin Laden death rekindles torture debate

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Osama bin Laden's death has reignited debate over the George W. Bush administration's use of harsh interrogation methods, with supporters claiming the program led to the Al-Qaeda leader's capture.

Key intelligence over the identity of a courier -- among the few men bin Laden trusted -- who passed messages from the terror chief to commanders in the field ultimately led US agents to his secured compound in the Pakistani garrison town of Abbottabad.

Detainees held at secret CIA "black sites," or prisons, told interrogators after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States about the courier known as Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti.

Kuwaiti was identified as a protege of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and an assistant of Abu Faraj al-Libbi, another key Qaeda operative.
