Sketch of Osama Laden Compound published in Washington Post |
Islamabad : Pakistan has again denied that it has any prior knowledge of the US raid that killed Osama bin Laden, but said it had been sharing information about the targeted compound with the CIA since 2009.
The al Qaeda leader was shot dead by US Special Forces in an attack on a sprawling compound near a military academy in the northwestern town of Abbottabad early on Monday.
“Neither any base nor facility inside Pakistan was used by the US forces, nor the Pakistan Army provided any operational or logistic assistance to these operations conducted by the US forces,” the foreign ministry said in a lengthy statement.
