He wouldn't be the first or the last
This reminds me of that funny story with those Saudi princes and the Pakistani airforce general that were allegedly helping Al Qaida. One prince died during a standard operation, they changed the cause of death like 10 times in the end heart complication 'won'; the second died in a wierd car crash on his way to the funural of the first prince. Third, my favourite, died as they said, of thirst about 50 km of Abu Dhabi.....
The Pakistani airforce general, well moments before his plane took of, they had to do a sudden unexpected hydrolics check on his plane, yes his plane crashed killing him and his whole staff...my....my....
Sometimes those guys in the CIA really crack me up
