Elements within the Pakistan Army and the ISI provided some level of assistance to al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, who lived in a safe house in Abbottabad before being killed by the American forces, Press Trust of India news agency quoted a US lawmaker who has access to classified intelligence as saying.
“I believe that elements of both the military and the intelligence service who in some way, both prior, and maybe even current, provided some level of assistance to Osama bin Laden,” Mike Rogers, who heads House Intelligence Committee, said in his remarks before Centre for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based think-tank.
