Ofcourse Bin Laden is in Pakistan. Where else would he find a more hospitable welcome?Pakistani leaders have always denied his presence on their soil; and why not? They had also denied presence of Jaish-e-Mohd and its leader, Maulana Masood Azhar - remember the IC 814 hijack of Indian Airlines plane to Kandhahar (Afghanistan), in Pakistan. So how did the Jaish-e- Mohd militants turn up inside the Red Mosque? Musharraf acted against them only when they posed a direct challenge to his authority. Until then, the Pakistani establishment continued to deny that Jaish-e-Mohd was at all active in Pakistan.
It is high time the world saw through Pakistan's pretence of innocence as far as Al Qaeda and the Taleban are concerned. Pakistani leaders acting ignorant of presence of Bin Laden, his terror outfit and the Taleban in Pakistan is the same as George Bush and Gordon Brown making a joint statement that they do not know where the Atlantic Ocean is.
There is no denying that, following the Red Mosque episode, Pakistan is suffering casualties in Waziristan. But then, that is the cost it is paying for the terror infrastructure it has established on its soil. It is pay back time now!
It is amazing that the west needed intelligence inputs to declare Bin Laden's presence in Pakistan when the whole world has always known where he could, without a doubt, be. Next they will need satelite pictures to locate New York.
