ASP Fellow Joshua Foust is quoted.
Joshua Foust, a fellow at the American Security Project and former Defense Intelligence Agency analyst, told The Tribune that Laden’s location made him question “how much the Pakistani Government really knew, and how believable their denials of his whereabouts really were.”
Ayesha Siddiqa, an Islamabad-based political analyst, said: “All fingers are now pointed at Pakistan.”
The US team did not encounter any Pakistani authorities during the operation.
Foust said it was interesting that Pakistani forces, which have previously fired on US helicopters, did not respond for 45 minutes. “We’re not getting the full story on Pakistan’s involvement,” he said.
