A Taliban leader tipped-off the US about where Osama bin Laden was hiding in Pakistan, a media report here said.
The mirror.co.uk cited secret papers found at Osama’s high-walled compound in Pakistan’s Abbottabad city as suggesting that the Al Qaeda chief’s cover was blown by his trusted ally, Taliban co-founder Mullah Abdul Baradar.
Washington, in return, offered to take back its troops from Taliban strongholds in Afghanistan after Osama was either killed or captured.
Osama was gunned down May 2 by US commandos.
Till now, it was believed that Osama was traced after the US intercepted a phone call made by his courier Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti.
But new reports in Pakistan suggest it was Baradar who told the US where he was hiding, mirror.co.uk said.
Baradar, an ally of Taliban leader Mullah Omar, was arrested last year when he was on a visit to Karachi. He was questioned in prison before being released last October.
“Baradar is in the frame as he has been in negotiations with the Afghan government and is ­closely linked to both Mullah Omar and bin Laden,” security expert Neil Doyle was quoted as saying.
“The US has announced that it is scaling back its military operations in Pakistan following the killing of bin Laden. That will fuel speculation about whether this is the start of the pay-off for insurgents who are willing to cut a deal,” he added.
“Military officials in Pakistan have also said there was a rift between bin Laden and some of his ­allies.”

  1. 50 million dollars does the magic.Look around the most corrupt around who would catch one dollar note with their mouth from gutter not to mention.million of dollars.Expect anything as American say they can sell of their —-.

  2. The present 'terrorist outfit seem to business corporation on the lines of outfit of 'blackwaters etc' worth billions of dollars.Pay us per the magnitude of task and it done.,eg,Mehran Naval base,GHQ in tens of million dollars .Because once MQM leader MR H.A.Rizvi boasted in TV talk show of Asma Shirazi that due to MQM popularity they dare not blast Nine Zero with a Marriot type dumper despite their venomous tirades against Taliban for now years.It shows it is not ,Jehad,ideology but money required to do the job. Same could be true for Osama-25 million dollars prize money.Besides such stupid conjectures,one thing is sure that the most beneficiary of last eleven years filthiest politics-pro USA,UK,drones back in my country has been Musharraf,PPP-Zardari while MQM for full eleven years,MLQ for nine years and ANP for 38 months.What hell has fallen to Pakistan is due to their devil plays,evil politics and filthy-cowardly role of Naewaz Sharif for 33 months.Now he is reacting but too late.May hell fall on them on this devils conglomerate who ruined Pakistan and the poor. May they become penniless paupers and nation immediately get rid of blackmailers,opportunists,target killers,bathkhors,liars,the most corrupt,incompetent .UK

  3. Definitely a planted story by…

    Motivation: Baradar/Mullah Omar were not staying under the control of ISI etc.
    So, undercut him (maybe get him killed).

    Proof: Baradar was in ISI custody. If he was talking – ISI also knew it (US interrogation of Baradar happened in presence of ISI rep.). So, are we going to say that Pak authority knew it? Or the present US-Pak rift is fake?

    The conspiracy theory goes a long way! Doesn't it?

    Good job "Mirror.co.uk"…
