Dunya News

Hussain Haqqani says that Osamas presence and failure of intelligence agencies will be probed.

Pakistan Ambassador to US Hussain Haqqani said that Pakistan was not informed about the Abbottabad operation; therefore, Pakistan should not be blamed.He said that Pakistan had no interest in providing shelter to terrorists, adding that there were some people in Pakistan who share the same belief system as Bin Laden and other extremists, so that was a fact, that there were people who probably protected him. But, he maintained that Pakistan was unaware of Bin Laden’s presence on its soil. He said, “We had no knowledge. And if we had knowledge, we would have acted upon it long ago.”“We will do a full inquiry into finding out why our intelligence services were not able to track him earlier. Any question about intelligence failure will definitely be addressed by us (Pakistan and US) jointly. We are allies.”
