Pak, US lost track of Osama five years ago: Musharraf |
Former Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf has
said that the US and Pakistan both lost track of Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden
five years ago, The Dawn reports. Musharraf, who is on a lecture tour of the US
currently, told students and delegates at a college in Sioux Falls, South Dakota,
that both Pakistani and US intelligence have failed to collect any details regarding
Laden's whereabouts, and now they are even unable to ascertain whether he was
dead or alive. Musharraf also said there is a need of a multifaceted strategy
to deal with the Taliban effectively. He said that while the Al-Qaeda should be
eliminated from Pakistan by force, dealing with the Taliban would require a military,
political and socio-economic approach. The former general underlined the fact
that the Taliban was a widespread organization with no central command. "The Taliban
is not a monolith, but rather a spread out organization with no single commander
who could be removed for the command structure to be destroyed," he said. |
