Islamabad, Pakistan – The doctor who is suspected of helping the CIA target Osama bin Laden will be charged with treason, Pakistan’s information ministry said Thursday.

“A case of conspiracy against the state of Pakistan and high treason is made” against Dr. Shakeel Afridi, the information ministry said, summarizing a commission’s investigation into the death of the al Qaeda leader.

Afridi is accused of helping the CIA use a vaccination campaign to try to collect DNA samples from people who lived in Osama bin Laden’s compound.

Pakistani security forces detained the doctor in July, a senior Pakistani security official said at the time.

A May 2 raid by U.S. Special Operations Forces killed bin Laden at his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

The Guardian newspaper reported earlier this year that in the course of gathering intelligence for the raid, the CIA recruited a Pakistani doctor to run a vaccination program in the area. The goal was to try to obtain DNA evidence from bin Laden family members, the British newspaper said, citing unnamed Pakistani and U.S. officials.

Any DNA obtained from the people in the compound could then be compared with a sample from bin Laden’s sister, who died in Boston in 2010, as evidence the family was in the compound, the newspaper said.

Neighborhood residents told CNN that two women who appeared to be nurses visited homes and offered free vaccinations.

The Guardian’s report said it was not known whether the CIA “managed to obtain any bin Laden DNA, although one source suggested the operation did not succeed.”

A CIA spokeswoman declined to comment after the newspaper published its report.

The Pakistan commission’s report also said the house where bin Laden lived would be turned over to the city’s civilian administration, and that authorities had finished questioning members of bin Laden’s family.
