The latest conspiracy theory about the death of Osama Bin Laden questions whether the truth has really been told about the events leading up to and surrounding his capture.

BBC journalist Jane Corbin has spent nearly two decades investigating the al-Qaeda and Bin Laden.

The latest claim from US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh is that Pakistani Intelligence (the ISI) had been holding Bin Laden captive for nearly six years in the town of Abbottabad.

Mr Hersh rejects the CIA's account of the capture and death of Bin Laden by following a courier for several years, as "a fairytale".

He tells the BBC that he thinks the courier that the US were trailing cashed in on Bin Laden's whereabouts. Hersh claims he was a retired Pakistani military officer who walked into the CIA and told them where Bin Laden was for the $25 million reward.

The deputy director of the CIA, Michael Morello, who was at the centre of the night raids in 2011 said that Hersh's claims of someone walking in and revealing Bin Laden's location were "not true".

Journalist Jane Corbin visits the Abbottabad compound before it was demolished, and seemed astonished that Bin Laden could have been hiding right under the nose of Pakistan's military elite.

Seymour Hersh's claims that higher officials in the CIA and the Pakistani Intelligence knew were Bin Laden were are based on one source, who he will not reveal, and therefore his account is met with a lot of scepticism.

Mr Morell eventually admits that there are parts of the US account the world may never be told, "A hundred per cent of the story that's out there is true - but not a hundred per cent of the story is out there."

Jane Corbin questions whether all the details adding up to the capture and death of Bin Laden will ever confirm exactly how events went down on that night.
