Washington, April 13: Contrary to US intelligence assessment, Pakistan Prime Minister has claimed that world’s most wanted terrorist Osama Bin Laden is not in his country and said no distinction could be made between a good and a bad Taliban.
“Certainly he is not in Pakistan” Gilani told CNN on a visit here to attend the Nuclear Security Summit. He said if Osama had been on Pakistani soil he could not have escaped the ongoing military operations.
The Pakistan Prime Minister admitted he had little information on the whereabouts of the Al-Qaeda chief and said that Pakistan army had conducted widespread operations in region such as Swat, South Waziristan and Orakzai tribal region.
“Our military operations have been very successful…
and if Osama was hiding in these areas he could have been nabbed…I don’t know whether he is alive or dead”.
