Pakistan probably did not know about Osama bin Laden, says ex US ambassador

Washington, April 16: Contrary to US President Barack Obama and former spymaster, an ex-US ambassador to Pakistan has said that Pakistan was not aware about presence of Al Qaeda leader Osama bib Laden, who was killed in Abbottabad in May 2011.

"Pakistan probably didn't know about Osama bin Laden as there is no evidence to suggest there was a link" former US envoy to Pakistan Cameron Munter was quoted as saying by Dawn online.

President Obama addresses the nation and announces that Osama bin Laden has been killed, calling it "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al Qaeda."
