Washington: There is no reason to believe that anyone in the highest ranks of the Pakistan government knew about the location of Osama bin Laden, the White House has said.
A day after a major American daily claimed that the top ISI leadership knew about the presence of the al Qaeda leader inside the country, the White House, yesterday, maintained its earlier stance over the issue.
“AS US officials have said, we have no reason to believe that anyone in the highest levels of the government knew about the location of bin Laden. That continues to be true,” White House National Security Council spokesperson Laura Lucas Magnuson told PTI, when asked about the news report.
Ever since bin Laden was killed by the US commandos in a daring operation in 2011, the Obama Administration has maintained that it has got no evidence which indicates that the top Pakistani leadership knew about the presence of the al Qaeda leader in Pakistan.
However, journalist Carlotta Gall in The New York Times, reported that the then ISI chief Ahmed Shuja Pasha knew of Laden’s presence in Pakistan.
