Summary Pakistan faced intense scrutiny in Washington after US forces killed Osama bin Laden near Islamabad.
The United States lawmakers demanded to know how the worlds most wanted man could have resided -- apparently for years -- in a comfortable home in Abbottabad, a hillside retreat close to Islamabad and popular with retired Pakistani generals.The US President Barack Obamas top counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, said that it was inconceivable that Osama bin Laden did not have some support in Pakistan, the country where he was hiding when he was killed in a firefight with US forces.Brennan said, “The White House is talking with the Pakistani government and have pledged to pursue all that leads to find out what type of support system or benefactors Osama Bin Laden might have had.”He said that the White House had made no decision on whether to release photographic proof that Osama bin Laden was dead; however, the DNA test details were released.
