|
[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."
