ISLAMABAD: The inquiry commission on the May 2 US operation in Abbottabad had shown its dissatisfaction over the credibility of evidence gathered during the probe.

A BBC Urdu report quoted a security official familiar with the investigation as saying that the members of the commission had formed a list of ‘important witnesses’ and conducted lengthy interviews.

But, the information gathered from these interviews was not sufficient to estabilsh the facts, the report said.

Only credible information about the presence of OsamaBin Laden in the compound came from the women who were said to be the wives of al-Qaeda chief, the report added.

Justice (r) Javed Iqbal, the chairman of the commission, had said after the formation of the commission that he would also ask the United States government to provide evidence.

But, a spokesman of the US embassy told the BBC Urdu that the commission had not yet contacted them on the issue.
