The day of 2 May 2011 has been recorded in the history of the world. On this day, the US killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in a 40-minute military action in Abbotabad, Pakistan. The death of the mastermind bin Laden of the 9/11 attacks shocked the whole world and raised serious questions on the international reputation of Pakistan.

How Laden has been hiding in Pakistan for years?

After this incident, the biggest question arose that how Bin Laden could remain hidden near the Pakistani military posts for years. Also, after his death his family’s situation also remained a mystery. Recently published book The Zardari Presidency: Now it must be Told author Farhatullah Babur, who has been a spokesperson of former President Asif Ali Zardari, gave new lights on these questions.

What happened after the murder of bin Laden?

According to Babur, soon after the assassination of Bin Laden, Pakistan officials detained his wives, but the most shocking thing is that in a few days a team of CIA got permission to interrogate women by reaching the abotabad cannons directly to the abotabad cannons, which raised serious concern over Pakistan’s sovereignty.

Pakistan’s national insult

Babur writes that this incident has faced national insult to Pakistan. American agents got widespread freedom on Pakistan’s land, while the country’s political and military leadership appeared to bend before the pressure. Babur says that this was a moment of failure and embarrassment for Pakistan.

It is further stated in the book that after this action, senior American officials, including the then Foreign Minister Hillary Clinton and Senator John Carrie, reached Pakistan. At that time Islamabad American wanted a guarantee of avoiding unilateral attacks, but the US did not give any clear assurance.

Big disclosure about CIA

The most important disclosure is that CIA had gathered a deep intelligence information of Bin Laden’s Abotabad hideout long before this action. The agency even knew the identity of the contractor who built the campus for the terrorist.
