Summary The US newspaper reported that the insurgents fled from the bomb factories in Waziristan.
According to the American newspaper, the US intelligence officials have twice handed Islamabad tips about insurgent bomb-making factories, only to find them abandoned before Pakistani troops arrived.The vacated factories have led US officials to question that how the information had been leaked and militants fled, the newspaper reported.The United States has been trying to bolster its relationship with Pakistan since the May 2 raid, and the information sharing with Islamabad is part of that effort.The newspaper further reported that Pakistani officials were given surveillance video in mid-May that located two bomb-making plants in the remote tribal areas of North and South Waziristan. But by the time Pakistani troops arrived on June 4, the sites had been vacated.As reported by the newspaper, a senior Pakistani military official said the United States had shared information about weapons storage facilities as well, but these had also been found empty.“There is a suspicion that perhaps there was a tip-off,” the official reportedly told the newspaper. “It’s being looked into by our people, and certainly anybody involved will be taken to task.”
