New Delhi: The government of Afghanistan backed CNN-IBN's expose in which former Pakistani defence minister Chaudhary Ahmed Mukhtar has admitted that the top officials in the country knew about Osama bin Laden's presence and they sheltered the al Qaeda chief.
The Afghan government sources said that they have repeatedly said that Laden was hiding in Pakistan and asked it to take action.
According to the sources, former Taliban leader Mullah Omar and now the new Taliban chief Mansoor Akhtar is also hiding in Pakistan. They claimed that Osama was hiding in a city close to the capital and many entities would have been aware of the fact.
Chaudhary Ahmed Mukthar was the defence minister of Pakistan between 2008 and 2012. He was part of the top five ministers in the cabinet of the then prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani. A long time member of the Pakistan People's Party, Mukhtar had the ear of his boss, President Asif Ali Zardari.
It is for the first time, four and a half years after the killing of Osama Bin Laden, that an insider has revealed a truth that Pakistan deliberately and carefully hid from the rest of the world.
