[Barack Obama][1]'s chief counter-terrorism adviser said: "It is inconceivable
that bin Laden did not have a support system in the country that allowed him
to stay there for such an extended period of time."
"People are referring to it [the compound] as hiding in plain sight. We are
looking at how he was able to hide there for so long.
"I'm sure that a number of people have questions about whether there was some
kind of support provided by the Pakistani government." Mr Brennan said.
The US terrorism expert did however acknowledge that the assistance of the
Pakistani government was vital to defeating [al-Qaeda][2].

He added: "Although there are some differences of views with Pakistan we
believe that the partnership is critically important to breaking the back of
al-Qaeda and eventually prevailing over al-Qaeda as well as associated
terrorist groups."
