Washington: An architect regularly employed by the ISI worked on the compound in which Osama bin Laden sheltered for years in Abbottabad and the slain al Qaeda chief communicated regularly with LeT from his hideout, a media report said on Saturday.
Though the original property records for the compound near the elite Pakistan Military Academy have disappeared, the architect who worked on the structure was regularly employed by the ISI, Washington Post columnist David Ignatius quoted an intelligence source as saying.
The architect reportedly was told that a "highly placed VIP" was coming to the compound, Ignatius wrote in a column posted on the daily's website.

Though materials taken from the compound after bin Laden was killed by US Special Forces in May last year did not show direct links with top Pakistani officials, US analysts "have found evidence that the al Qaeda chief communicated" with Mullah Mohammad Omar, leader of the Afghan Taliban, and with the Lashkar-e-Taiba, Ignatious wrote.
"The ISI is thought to monitor both groups closely; how did the messages slip through the net?" he questioned. The columnist said any probe on bin Laden's presence in Pakistan should focus on several issues, including how the al Qaeda chief came to Abbottabad in 2005 and what Pakistani officials knew about his whereabouts.
Current army chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani was ISI chief at the time, but the "dominant figure was President Pervez Musharraf, the former army chief", the columnist wrote.
The commander of the PMA at Abbottabad from 2006 was Lt Gen Nadeem Taj, who succeeded Gen Kayani as head of the ISI in 2007.
Ignatius referred to former ISI chief Gen Ziauddin Butt's claim that the Abbottabad compound was used by Intelligence Bureau and noted that a report in the Pakistani press in December had quoted Butt as saying that bin Laden's stay at Abbottabad was arranged by Brig Ijaz Shah, head of the Intelligence Bureau during 2004-08, on Musharraf's orders.
He further referred to the rumour that bin Laden was suffering from kidney failure and required dialysis and said this canard was "repeated for years, notably by Musharraf".
CIA analysts were dubious and no dialysis machines were found at Abbottabad.
"So was this a deliberate piece of misinformation? And what about bin Laden's claim in November 2001 to Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir that he had nuclear and chemical weapons? Was that a Pakistan-facilitated attempt to promote what bin Laden called his 'deterrent' against a US reprisal attack?" he wrote.
Pakistan's civilian and military leaders have denied reports that they were aware of bin Laden's presence in the country.
A judicial commission is currently investigating the matter.
Experts and US officials have contended that it would not have been possible for bin Laden to live for so long in a garrison town without some support from elements in Pakistan's security establishment.
Ignatius wrote that US officials had said "they don't have any evidence that Kayani or other top Pakistani officials knew of bin Laden's presence before the May 2 raid that killed the al Qaeda leader. This assessment is based on the review of materials taken from bin Laden's compound, plus the reactions of Kayani and other officials the night of the raid".

i've got only one word for both the auther and the poster of this thread : " ChoO**a " ... :L

 

[Ark-Angel]

then please explain how OSAMA was in ABBOTABAD ? that is a military garrison?....its either

1)your military and army and the ISItotally suck and are totally incapable or
2) they have been hiding him

choose any one ....both are equally embarassing (even if you chose the second one-it shows that your ISI and Army incapable of protecting OSAMA...which again implies option 1)

Kindly prove that Osama was in Abbottabad.

 

[Screambowl]

I have some questions

1) Just few kilometers away from the capital Osama is hiding and ISI is unaware. Not digested.
2) USA planning a strike near to the capital of Pakistan, ISI is unaware and Military too could not see the infiltration. Unbelievable.
3) US can coordinate this mission 12000 miles away. Pakistan couldn't coordinate it in their own country?

Points 1 and 2 suggest that the ISI was aware of the US mission and therefore involved in tracking down OBL (which it was in any case).

So what is your point?

Or the ISI knew the mission was going to get the wrong man so they let it happen, shot down a chopper and let the Chinese have a good look. The Doctor guy and his DNA sample was added later by the US to add substance to the lie so Pakistan pounced upon it knowing it was false. Now an architect appears, next we will have a dentist, then a hakim followed by his gardener.

My Point is Pakistan was scared of bashing from Muslim world , after-comes and some elements in Pakistan who were in favor of Osama.
