An eccentric California salvage diver is fishing for proof that al Qaeda overlord Osama bin Laden is really dead.
Bill Warren, 59, has vowed to scour the north Arabian Sea to find the corpse and deliver photographic evidence that he was killed.
Warren, who has discovered more than 200 wrecks, is confident he can find bin Laden’s body. American Special Forces killed the jihadist on May 2 in Pakistan.
“I’m doing it because I am a patriotic American who wants to know the truth. I do it for the world,” Warren told The Post.
He expects to spend about $400,000 on a two-week jaunt next month. He plans to rent a ship in India for $10,000 a day, and spend another $1,000 a day for a remote-operated submarine.
“The Obama administration should have released the photo, like we did with Billy the Kid, or [John] Dillinger, or even Saddam Hussein,” said Warren. “I have a Russian girlfriend, and she tells me that over there, in intelligence circles, they don’t believe bin Laden’s really dead.”
