According to
medical sources in Yemen Osama former Bin Laden’s bodyguard died after a long
battle with sickness.
Bin Laden was
killed by US special forces in a raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in May 2011.
They said Mr
Bahri, a Yemeni national, passed away on Saturday in a hospital in the southern
city of Mukalla. He is believed to have been in his 40s.
Mr Bahri,
also known as Abu Jandal, was also a driver for the late al-Qaeda leader, when
he was in Afghanistan.
Mr Bahri was
freed from the Guantanamo Bay jail and returned to Yemen in 2008.
He was
involved in attacks by Islamist militants in Bosnia, Somalia and Afghanistan
during the 1990s, but later renounced al-Qaeda.
In a 2010
interview to the BBC's Newsnight programme Mr Bahri warned that young people in
his native Yemen were susceptible to the lure of extremism.
