Signs Point To Pakistan Link

Signs Point To Pakistan Link U.S. and European intelligence officials increasingly believe active or retired Pakistani military or intelligence officials provided some measure of aid to al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden,New Nike Air Max 2011, allowing him to stay hidden in a large compound just a mile from an elite military academy. The suspicions cast light on where the U.S. is expected to focus as it investigates who might have helped bin Laden hide in 'plain sight' in Abbottabad, a town about 40 miles from the capital Islamabad. Two senior U.S. officials and a high-level European military-intelligence official who have direct working knowledge of Pakistan's military intelligence agency,Air Max 2010, the Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate, say similar elements linked to the ISI have aided other Pakistan-based terror groups,air max 90, the Haqqani militant network and Lashker-e-Tayiba. 'There's no doubt he was protected by some in the ISI,air max ltd 2 trainers,' the European official said of bin Laden. The officials didn't offer specific evidence,kids air max 90, pointing to the town's proximity to the capital and its high concentration of current and former military and intelligence officers,ken griffey air max 1, and saying the aid likely included intelligence tips to help keep bin Laden a step ahead of his American pursuers. But others in both the U.S. and Pakistan have cast doubt on whether Abbottabad would have provided a more hospitable refuge than other towns,Air Max 2009, or whether officials would have reason to believe bin Laden could be hiding there. Details continued to emerge Wednesday that added to questions about what officials may have known. Abbottabad had come to the notice of Pakistani intelligence as a suspected hiding place for al Qaeda leaders as long ago as 2003,Air Max Skyline, and was the focus of searches for top al Qaeda figures in years since. Then,Cheap Air Max 90, in 2005,air max 90 infrared, the man who was later identified as bin Laden's courier acquired the property in Abbottabad on which the compound was built,Nike Air Max 1, U.S. officals said Wednesday. The name he used,nike air max 360 ii, Arshad Khan, is the local alias he employed. It was this courier who,air max skyline, nearly six years later,air max 108, eventually led the U.S. to the compound. Pakistan denies it knew of bin Laden's whereabouts or sheltered him. Pakistani officials point out they passed the information about the 2003 search to their American counterparts. U.S. officials say intelligence cooperation with Pakistan has helped the U.S. carry out many critical operations but that the intelligence used in the raid that killed bin Laden came from American sources and intelligence. In classified congressional briefings this week on the U.S. operation that killed bin Laden,cheap Airmax 2010, senior national-security officials have told lawmakers they suspected Pakistan wasn't as forthcoming as it could have been about its intelligence on bin Laden,2010 Air Max, an official briefed on the exchanges said. They also told lawmakers they were looking for evidence that elements within the ISI and the army played a direct or indirect role in protecting the al Qaeda leader,Nike Air Max Shop, several officials said. Helping the effort will be the cache of computers, storage drives and other materials taken from bin Laden's residence. The aftermath of the raid that killed Mr. bin Laden could have sweeping implications for the quickly deteriorating U.S. relationship with Pakistan -- a longtime bulwark in U.S. efforts to fight terrorist groups -- and on the U.S.-led war in neighboring Afghanistan. Militants use havens in Pakistan to stage attacks against U.S. forces in Afghanistan. U.S. officials believe the war effort hinges on Pakistan doing far more to close the havens. The U.S. admistration also worries what will happen to the tottering nuclear state if its economy collapses, as U.S. lawmakers challenge ongoing aid to Pakistan. It remains unclear what could motivate those within Pakistan to help shelter bin Laden, and will remain so until the U.S. and European suspicions take clearer form. For a rogue element,nike air max trainer essential women's, sympathy with bin Laden could be enough. If more senior officials are implicated,nike air max 2011 orange, that would suggest a desire to pacify radical elements who might otherwise turn their attention on Pakistani ruling elites. Pakistani officials have been tight-lipped about what they found in the compound after American forces left. Pakistan has released no official accounting of how many people were taken into custody or how many bodies were found. Nor have military officials explained why soldiers didn't arrive on the scene of a 40-minute firefight that took place on the doorstep of Pakistan's military academy. There are some conflicts between the U.S. and Pakistani accounts. U.S. officials say they left four bodies behind: three men and one woman. A Pakistani official said all four were men. The Pakistani official said bin Laden's 12-year-old daughter,nike air max trainer one, who is among those in Pakistani custody, told authorities the Americans took two people when they left, including bin Laden. U.S. officials say bin Laden's body was the only one removed from the scene. 相关的主题文章:
