**Follow coverage of the fallout from Osama bin Laden's killing **
The [**US President**][1] pressed Pakistan to probe how [**Osama bin
Laden**][2] managed to live for years under the nose of its military, saying
he must have been supported by locals.
In a [**60 Minutes interview for CBS News**][3]** **he stopped short of saying
the Pakistani government was involved, but called on Islamabad to help counter
growing mistrust by granting US investigators access to three of bin Laden's
widows who are in Pakistani custody and could have vital information on Al-
Qaeda.
"We think that there had to be some sort of support network for bin Laden
inside of Pakistan," Obama said.
"But we don't know who or what that support network was. We don't know whether
there might have been some people inside of government, people outside of
government, and that's something that we have to investigate and, more
importantly, the Pakistani government has to investigate."
