Osama Bin Laden's hideout carved out of Pakistan Military
Academy: Book
WASHINGTON: In a fresh damning
disclosure, a new book has claimed
that Abbottabad house where al- Qaeda chief lived was carved out from Pakistan Military Academy compound and its powerful army chief may have been briefed beforehand on the 'kill Osama mission'.
Leading from Behind: The Reluctant President and the Advisors
Who Decide for Him, penned by
eminent American journalist Richard
Miniter, which has hit the stands,
claims that land of the Abbottabad
compound, where Osama bin Laden lived with his family, was carved out from the elite military academy
compound.
The book also claims that army chief
General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani may
have been briefed by the US on its
operation to kill bin Laden, some five months in advance.
"Pakistan's army chief of staff may
have been briefed in December 2010, five months before the nighttime raid on bin Laden's concrete castle. Far
from taking a risk, there are
indications that a cover story had been developed with the Pakistani
military and that (Barack) Obama had their tacit consent for the mission,"
claims Miniter, a former reporter with
The Wall Street Journal and The
Washington Post.
Bin Laden was killed by US Navy SEALs inside his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan in May 2011.
The book also says a colonel in the
Pakistan's spy agency ISI had
provided vital help to the CIA in
tracing bin Laden.
"A colonel in Pakistan's feared
intelligence service, the Inter-Services Institute or ISI, provided vital help in locating Bin Laden when he walked into the CIA's Islamabad station in August 2010," says the book.
"In a never-before-reported account, Pakistan was more involved in the bin
Laden operation than Obama's team
admitted. When the CIA revealed that an ISI colonel had contacted the CIA in Islamabad and offered information about bin Laden, a debate followed,"
it says.
