Pakistan Denies OBL & Mullah Omar Hiding in Tribal Area

Pakistan rejects anonymous US official's claim.

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan rejected on Saturday a U.S. official's assertion that al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and Taliban leader Mullah Omar are operating from Pakistani territory.

A senior U.S. administration official told reporters in Washington Bin Laden, his deputy Ayman al-Zawahri and others were operating out of Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas bordering Afghanistan.

Mullah Omar and other Taliban leaders were directing insurgency operations in Afghanistan from the Pakistani city of Quetta, said the U.S. official who declined to be identified.

"If there is any actionable intelligence it should be shared with the government of Pakistan so that they can be neutralized," Sadiq said. "You don't talk to the media if you have information like this."

Yeah, give the ISI classified info so they can leak it to the Taliban and al Qaida. Thats exactly want they want.

He said the U.S. official's assertion was not correct.

"If he was right, he would claim the bounty money, not speak to the media," he said, referring to U.S. reward money for information leading to arrest of the militants.
