Pakistani establishment knew about Osama's presence in country: Pak ex-Defence Minister

New Delhi, Oct 13 (UNI) Pakistan ex-defence minister Chaudhry Ahmad Mukhtar today claimed that the Pakistani establishment was in know of Osama Bin Laden's presence in the country. In an interview to news channel CNN-IBN, Mr Mukhtar said the then President Asif Ali Zardari, ex-Prime Minister Gilani, the ISI and the army chiefs knew about the presence of 'most wanted man in the world' on their soil. Making this disclosure after four years of Osama being killed in a raid at his Abbottabad residence in 2011, Mr Mukhtar, who was the defence minister at the time, said, "Some people knew, people in the Pakistan Army as well as people in the other forces they also knew it and they were on the lookout for somebody of the stature of Osama Bin Laden." Mr Mukhtar's admissions come nearly after six months of American journalist Seymour Hersh's claim that a Pakistani agent had leaked Osama's Abbottabad hideout address to the CIA of US. The leader of Al-Qaeda was killed in Abbottabad on May 2, 2011 in a raid by the US Navy SEALS. UNI XC AJ SY 2323
