Some Pakistan officials know whereabouts of Osama: Clinton

WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said that some people in its government are aware of the whereabouts of elusive Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and Afghan Taliban chief Mullah Omar.

The Obama Administration meanwhile for the first time accused Taliban of being behind the botched Times Square bombing plot.

“Some Pakistani officials were more informed about Al-Qaeda and Taliban than they let on”, Clinton told a foreign news channel in an interview.

“I”m not saying that they”re at the highest levels but I believe that somewhere in this government are people who know where Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda is, where Mullah Omar and the leadership of the Afghan Taliban is and we expect more cooperation to help us bring to justice, capture or kill, those who attacked us on 9/11,” she said.
