Pakistan: US lied about killing al Qaeda # 2

Read Time:1 Minute, 35 Second

Loyal Pakistan backs up U.S. by yelling LIAR LIAR LIAR……

I understand why we have to suck up to Pakistan. They border Afghanistan and we need them, but why do we have to put up with their continuing insults? I mean, come on, does anyone believe the Pakistani intelligence services didn’t know where OBL was hiding? Of course they did unless their “intelligence” was lacking.

SO perhaps this latest breach of truth is little more than a red herring designed to keep the Jihadists quiet.

Here’s the Raw Story so judge for yourself:

Pakistani security officials expressed doubt on Sunday over reports from the United States that it had killed the Al-Qaeda second-in-command near the Afghan border.

A senior US official said on Saturday that Atiyah abd al-Rahman had been killed in the northwest tribal area of Waziristan on August 22, without divulging the circumstances of his death.

However, local officials in the region told AFP last week that a US drone strike in North Waziristan on that date had killed at least four militants. It was not clear if the two incidents were connected.

A senior Pakistani security official in Peshawar told AFP: “We have checked this news report with informers and have worked on it. I doubt the authenticity of this news.”

Another security official in Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan, said he had received no information on the killing.

“For me it is just a rumour. Frankly speaking, we are even not aware that a man with this name is working as deputy chief of Al-Qaeda,” he added.

The officials said the remote, mountainous area, just four kilometres (2.5 miles) from the Afghan border, is inaccessible.

So do we continue to allow the Pakis to trash us? Do you think it is just one of those back door deals between Pakistan and the U.S.?
