Islamabad denies US media report on secret security for Bin Laden in Pakistan
According to details, NY Times claimed former President of Pakistan, General (R) Pervez Musharraf had formed a special desk to keep Bin Laden’s cover protected. Sources have claimed the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), was in charge of the dossier.

The security institutions of Pakistan have strongly denied the news and labelling the report as preposterous. It was told that none of the security related figures and institutions were aware of Osama's presence in Pakistan.

The NY Times journalist who wrote this report, Carlotta Gall was exiled from Pakistan after being involved in unwanted and offensive activities in Quetta and she was restricted from visiting Pakistan again.

Pakistani security institutions stated that Carlotta Gall's report is based upon her personal resentment.

The NY Times claimed that General (R) Pervez Musharraf formed a special desk of ISI to safeguard Osama Bin Laden.

The report also mentioned that former ISI’s Chief, Let-General Retired Ahmed Shuja Pasha was also aware of Osama's location in Pakistan.

Osama Bin Laden, the founder and head of the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda, was killed in Pakistan on May 2, 2011, by US Navy SEALs. The raid on Bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, was launched from Afghanistan.

According to American officials, after the raid, U.S. forces took Bin Laden's body to Afghanistan for identification, then buried him at sea within 24 hours of his death.
