London: Pakistan’s Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani on Monday rejected claims stating that Bin Laden was residing in Pakistan with the help of the country’s military and said that Pakistan had not been ‘complicit’ in sheltering Osama bin Laden.
In an interview to British media, Gilani said that the reason Bin Laden was able to live undetected for so long inside Pakistan was down to a universal ‘intelligence failure’.
The Prime Minister admitted that the relationship between Pakistan and Obama administration were not going through a good phase.
Gilani intimated that he didn’t know whether al-Zawahiri was in Pakistan.
“If there is any credible information please share it with us, so we can be quick and achieve our targets,” he said.
Asked if Mullah Omar, the Taliban leader, might also be in the country, the prime minister replied: “I don’t know. Please tell us.”
The PM further said that the CIA was far more “powerful” than Pakistan’s ISI intelligence service, and would have a better idea of the two banned outfit leaders.
