WASHINGTON: A Pakistani doctor, Shakeel Afridi who had a role in the CIA operation to hunt down Osama bin Laden in Abbotabad has been nominated for the US Congressional Gold Medal, the country's highest civilian honour.
Dana Rohrabacher chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, has introduced a bill in House of Representatives to recognise Dr. Afridi with the Congressional Gold Medal and declare him a US citizen.
Afridi had set up a fake hepatitis immunisation campaign in an attempt to obtain DNA from bin Laden's children and confirm the presence the area.
