WASHINGTON (AFP) – Pakistan's top spy agency has arrested five Pakistani informants who assisted the CIA ahead of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.
The men arrested reportedly include a Pakistani Army major said to have copied the license plate of cars that drove up to bin Laden's compound in the military town of Abbottabad, two hours from the capital Islamabad.
The Pakistani military denied that any army officer had been detained over what it called the "Abbottabad incident".

That’s strange......................
it didn’t take them 5 years to catch them.....
hmmmm....... odd......
The US has a tiger by the tail; we can’t be too friendly, but we can’t let go, and Pakistan knows it.
Pakistan has a pile of nukes and if they start handing them out the world could get very sticky very quickly.
Pakistan know where Bin Laden was the whole time.
They accepted our money and blew us off. It is time Pakistan was treated like the enemy they are.
The least we can do is cut off all funds we are borrowing to send there.
When will we ever learn.
Our State Department is an Epic Failure.
