An Afghan official says Pakistan must have known Osama bin Laden was living in the military garrison town near the capital Islamabad.
The statement makes Afghanistan the latest in a series of countries throwing suspicion on Pakistan following the deadly strike against the al-Qaida leader.
Defense Ministry spokesman Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi said Wednesday the powerful Pakistani intelligence service had to have known bin Laden was living in the house in Abbottabad, because of its proximity to military installations.
Azimi says bin Laden’s house was close to the gate of the Kakul Military Academy, where top Pakistani officers train. And many neighboring houses are home to military officials.
