Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says she believes Pakistani government officials know Osama bin Laden’s whereabouts — and she’s pressing them for intelligence about the matter. Clinton, who visited Pakistan over the weekend, told Fox News host Greta van Susteren that she believes “elements” in the country’s government know bin Laden’s location and that of his top deputy, Ayman Al-Zawahiri.
“If there were a terrorist somewhere in a remote place in the United States, some sheriff, some local state policeman, somebody in our collective government would probably know there was something suspicious going on,” Clinton, speaking from Afghanistan, told van Susteren’s “On The Record” programme last week. “I assume somebody in this [Pakistani] government from top to bottom does know where bin Laden is, and I’d like to know too.”
Clinton added that Pakistani cooperation has helped U.S. forces capture “a lot of the top leadership of al-Qaida.”
“We haven’t gotten bin Laden or Zawahiri, but we have consistently been able to track and kill a lot of their principal leadership,” Clinton said. “Having been a senator from New York on 9/11, I want those guys. I will not be satisfied until we get them.”
