Pakistan will investigate why Bin Laden was hiding in Abbottabad

Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Monday announced an investigation into how Osama Bin Laden could live with impunity in the garrison town Abbottabad, but insisted that Pakistan could not be the only country condemned by the existence and acts of Al Qaeda . "We are determined to know by all means how, when and why Osama Bin Laden was in Abbottabad, and ordered an investigation, announced to the Members of Parliament.

The prime minister described as" absurd "allegations of complicity within government or the Pakistani army in relation to the presence of Bin Laden in Abbottabad, and said his country is determined to fight terrorism, noting that Al Qaeda was not born in Pakistan. "Al Qaeda was not born in Pakistan!" he exclaimed.

"Who is responsible for the birth of Al Qaeda?" in 1990. "Who is responsible for having built the myth of Bin Laden?" he said in a thinly veiled allusion to the United States. "One must remember international community to the early 1980's when he saw Arab volunteers to join the jihad ("holy war" of the Afghan mujahideen against the Soviet occupation) that became Al Qaeda, said Prime Minister.

In 1980, the Afghan mujahideen fought the Red Army with the support with weapons and money from the CIA through the Pakistani secret services.
