New Delhi, May 3 : The latest disclosure by whistle-blowing website Wikileaks has exposed Pakistan's blatant lies, as it claims that Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden always received warning before any operation.
According to claims made in leaked US Government documents obtained by Wikileaks: "American diplomats were told that one of the key reasons why they had failed to find Osama bin Laden for years was that Pakistan's security services tipped him off whenever US troops approached."
Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISID) also allegedly smuggled Al-Qaeda terrorists through airport security to help them avoid capture and sent a unit into Afghanistan to fight alongside the Taliban, the Wikileaks cables obtained by Britain's 'Daily Telegraph' show, Times Now reports.
The claims, the daily said, will add to questions over Pakistan's capacity to fight the dreaded terror outfit al-Qaeda. In December 2009, the government of Tajikistan warned the US that efforts to catch bin Laden were being thwarted by corrupt Pakistani spies.
According to a US diplomatic dispatch, senior Tajik counter-terrorism official eneral Abdullo Sadulloevich Nazarov told the Americans that many inside Pakistan knew where bin Laden was.
"In Pakistan, Osama Bin Laden wasn't an invisible man, and many knew his whereabouts in North Waziristan, but whenever security forces attempted a raid on his hideouts, the enemy received warning of their approach from sources in the security forces," the document stated.
The successful night raid on Osama at Abbottabad, around 120 kilometers from Islamabad, on Monday was carried out without Pakistan Government's knowledge. (
