Pakistan may have shared OBL's location with US: Former ISI chief
129
Former director general of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Lt-Gen (retd) Asad Durrani has said that Pakistan had 'most likely' revealed the position of former Al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden to the US, a report published on the Al Jazeera website said.
In an interview on Al Jazeera's Head to Head show, the former ISI chief cast doubts over the intelligence agency's official line that it was unaware of the Al Qaeda chief's whereabouts prior to his killing.
“I cannot say exactly what happened but my assessment […] was it is quite possible that they [the ISI] did not know but it was more probable that they did. And the idea was that at the right time, his location would be revealed. And the right time would have been, when you can get the necessary quid pro quo — if you have someone like Osama bin Laden, you are not going to simply hand him over to the United States," the former head of Pakistan's premier intelligence agency told the host of the show.
Durrani was of the view that Osama Bin Laden's position was revealed to the Americans in exchange for an agreement on “how to bring the Afghan problem to an end”.
Responding to a question whether the Abbottabad compound, raided by the US in May 2011, was an ISI safehouse or not, the former ISI chief said: “If ISI was doing that, then I would say they were doing a good job. And if they revealed his location, they again probably did what was required to be done.”
Lt Gen (r) Durrani added that the comments were only his opinion and that he did "not know what had happened".
He also told the host of the show, “The admission of incompetence was probably done on political reasons… As far as the people of Pakistan were concerned, it was going to be very uncomfortable for them that their government, you know, is in cahoots now with the United States and gets hold of Osama bin Laden,” and added that Bin Laden “was an admired figure in Pakistan”.
Lt Gen (r) Asad Durrani served as the director general of Inter-Services Intelligence between 1990 and 1991. He later also served as Pakistan's Envoy to Germany during the late 90s and to Saudi Arabia in the early 2000s.

The series of which the interview episode is a part of a series to be aired in April 2015.
Osama bin Laden was killed in a firefight with US forces in Pakistan's garrison city of Abbottabad on May 1 2011, ending a nearly 10-year worldwide hunt for the then chief of the Al Qaeda militant organisation.
Contrary to reports, Pakistan officially denies that the ISI protected Osama bin Laden or that it had played any role in the May 2011 raid in Abbottabad.

One of the simplest but not pointed out by anyone is the "prize money of $50 million" that is over Rs. 5 billion even on providing information leading to Osama. No body has claimed or was paid that money which means many things. One of the most intriguing possibility is about duplicate of Osama being killed in Abbottabad while original already killed in Tora Bora long time ago. That is why the need for hurried disposal of the body in sea without even authentic DNA tests.

To imagine that somebody could hide next to the most fortified areas in Pakistan,for a few years, would be unrealistic.It is equally likely that, given the close connections between Osama & Pak army / ISI, the Americans had to get information from other sources. The only real question is whether the Americans took action after informing the Pakistani military or not. It is possible that they threatened the Pak army that interference or informing Osama could lead to US waging war against Pakistan & the generals realised it was better to give up Osama in a US action than in a Pakistani action. This helped Pakistan protect its credibility with the terrorists for some more time while it pretended to be part of an anti terror operation.

@indian "American didn't even inform pakistan before launching the attack. It's a proof of mistrust they had.. "
The US choppers flew from Afghanistan, refuelled at a small base near Tarbela-Ghazi before approaching Abbottabad. No choppers can fly un-refuelled from Afghanistan to Abottabad AND back. Do you think the Americans would risk something as foolish as the Iranian hostage rescue again? Abottabad is within 10 minutes flying time of PAF Kamra. During Afghan war PAF never allowed any Soviet / Afghan warplane or chopper to enter more than 10 miles without intercepting it. Of course Pakistan was a party to OBL operation, hence the logistical support. But both sides needed some face saving and quid pro quo. Who cares a fig if the World or India don't believe it? They were not meant to.

In the murkey world of intelligence, it is difficult for ordinary people to determine the reality.
I have always wondered by Pakistan did not reject more forcefully the nationality of the Mumbai attackers - they did not look Pakistani, spoke hindi, were taken alive and then apparently killed in gunfights.
When Kasab was being interrogated on video and promted by Mumbai Police to implicate the ISI he did not say anything.
David Headley was apparently a historic FBI asset, and was it seems aware of the plot, but then never informed his US handlers.

Oh! so all these years ISI knew the whereabouts of OBL but continually denied the world and lied including the head of the state and now you run around in the world asking for consideration, money, arms and above all the condemnation of your neighbor who has been subject to state assisted terror for few decades now! Bravo, the world you think is no naive to fall for your fantasy?

@hyat
The Western agenda is international business, and it has been through 300 years of industrialization. You may even go back another 50 years to the East India Company and Scottish mortgage banking.

Pakistani establishment (Military) knew OBL's lication all along and for 10+ years milked US funds in the name of "top ally" on war on terror. Wonder if Saudis paid to keep OBL safe and alive...? This way Pakistan would've gotten funds from both the US and from the Saudis, great deal! OBL's death is a great loss for Pakistan!

@woody I don't think any country is quite that low (N Korea), but it certainly makes the Pakistani government look like they're trying to reach new depths.

@MSK
.> If it was OBL, why US didn't show his dead face to the world?
US is not an imature country that need to respond to "if you love me give me a chocolate" . US is more mature and calculative than that.
Do you understand that maturity? US asks "what am I going to achieve positive by showing OBL dead pic?" am I going to motivate jihadists? am I going to give them a reference to feel motivated? NO.
Is your mind working a bit to figure that out, or are you acting less intelligent?
> why he was secretely thrown out in the sea?
Again, it looks like you aready know the wisdom of US in doing that, but just acting less intelligent. Giving you benefit of doubt and answering: Just so you won't get a chance to worship his grave.
> why there was no extreme reaction by Al Qaeda on his death?
Mourning the demise perhaps?
> Can anyone comment??
Yes above

The truth in the mans words can be juged by his statement "Bin Laden “was an admired figure in Pakistan”. Seriously bin laden is a part of the U.S game plan, how can we love a part(OBL) of the whole(U.S)? We hate them both!

@BlueEarth so you acknowledge determination on the part of Pakistan. Third generation of ZAK will be able to see Kashmir free from Indian occupancy. Period of 100 years not very long in the history of a nation.

If this is true Pakistan is a rogue state, if this is false Pakistan is a failed state (some Pakistan journalist)
It appears Pakistan is created for Osama, Dawood Ibrahim, Khalid, Bin Rami, Hafeez Mahmood and the list goes on
