Here are some photo's of the 4 Iranian hostages on their release after they had been dropped off at the Iran - Pakistan border:

Of course the Pakistani officials would deny it, they deny everything even when they have been caught red handed. It is no coincidence that some of the most wanted terrorists in the World like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Mullah Baradar and Osama Bin Laden have all been found in Pakistan right under the nose of the government there. Even Abdolhamid Rigi, the deputy leader of Jondallah, was extradited from Pakistan to Iran, but only after more than a year passed of Iran having to put pressure on Pakistan to hand him over to us.
In all these instances, the Pakistani 'officials' denied any of these terrorists 'were on their soil' right up until each had been caught there. The Pakistanis even actually claimed that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed had been killed in 2002 until an undercover CIA mission in 2003 exposed that he was living in Rawalpindi.
Same with Bin Laden. For years and years Gen. Musharraf made many public statements that Osama Bin Laden was dead and that Mullah Omar and all the other Taliban leaders were directing their war from within Afghanistan. Mullah Baradar (the number 3 Taliban leader, some say the number 2 after Mullah Omar) was detained in an undercover CIA raid in Karachi in early 2010. A couple of months later Osama Bin Laden was killed by American special forces in Abbottabad.
Such a pathetic track record of duplicity, lies and deception. Nobody can take the statements of these Pakistani 'officials' seriously, least of all the ordinary Pakistani people should not.
Pakistan's premier intelligence agency - the ISI - claimed to have killed or captured Khalid Sheikh Muhammad in a raid in 2002 but it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. He was later captured in a joint US-Pakistan Operation in Rawalpindi - If we were hiding him or if we didn't care whether he was on Pakistani territory or not we wouldn't have teamed up with the Americans to capture him....would we ?
Mullah Bradar, like others, was able to come into Pakistan when the US Invasion of Afghanistan started because it is extremely easy to cross the thousands of caves, ravines & gullies that mark that extremely porous Pak-Afghan Border that is more than 2600 km long has sees cross-movement going in the tens of thousands every day ! We never had any problem in the past & the Tribes that exist on the edges of the Pak-Afghan Border joined Pakistan with the understanding that there would be free-movement for them between the two borders because the tribes were neither completely in Pakistan nor completely in Afghanistan.
Had we wanted to keep Mullah Bradar a secret & didn't want to capture him at all then we wouldn't have teamed up with the Americas to capture him in 2010 because that would defeat the very purpose of 'not wanting to capture him' !
As far as both of the two Rigis are concerned if Pakistan wanted to let them continue to conduct terrorist activities against Iran they would not have captured the younger brother when he came to Pakistan from Iran nor would they have cooperated with the Iranians on the capture of Abdulmalik !
So far as Osama is concerned it was Pakistan that gave the number of the Kuwaiti couriers that led to pinpointing the location of Bin Ladin - Had we been hiding him...we wouldn't have given the number that traces back to Osama, to the CIA, would we ? Nor would we be so incompetent on one hand to hide him close to Pakistan's Military Academy & then suddenly become ever so competent that despite the American's taking every shred of evidence that was in the Abbotabad Complex they were not able to link anything with Pakistan....nothing....zilch - You don't become utterly incompetent on one hand & the most competent organization on the planet on the other !
It was an intelligence failure...a huge intelligence failure on our part !
And Pakistan never denied that OBL was on Pakistani Soil.....the then President Musharraf is on record as having said that he maybe in Pakistan just as likely as he maybe in Afghanistan or elsewhere....we've capture the more Al-Qaeeda members than the rest of the world combined & we'd capture OBL too so give us actionable intelligence !
And please let us not talk about the credibility of each other's words...shall we - Certainly not from Iran....you are accused of everything from supporting sectarian proxies to building a nuclear weapon - The world doesn't accept the veracity of your claims either....so spare me the pious sentiments !
