Somebody knew about Osama in Pakistan: Clinton

WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said that it was not proven that anybody at the top of the government in Pakistan knew bin Ladin's whereabouts, but it seems likely that somebody did know.

In an interview with the American TV, Clinton referring her first visit to Pakistan tells that she said, "It's hard to believe that somebody in your government somewhere - and it could be some very low-level person - doesn't know where he is."

Replying a question, Secretary of State said that Bin Ladin was their primary target, adding that United States had made it clear they would go after those who had attacked them.

She said, "President Barack Obama had made a gutsy decision. We were very pleased that the operation succeeded. And we've made it clear to people around the world that if we locate someone who has been part of the al Qaida leadership, then you get him or we will get him."
