Inconceivable Osama did not have support in Pak: US

Saying it is "inconceivable" that Osama bin Laden did not have a support system in Pakistan, where he had been "hidden from view" for years, the U.S. is in talks with Islamabad to determine what kind of benefactors of the head of al-Qaeda in this country. "I think it is inconceivable that bin Laden did not have a support system in the country that allowed him to stay for a long period of time, "the White House against terrorism adviser John Brennan said Monday.
"I will not speculate on what kind of support he might have had an official base inside Pakistan," he said at a White House news conference.
Brennan said questions remain about how bin Laden could have remained in the chamber as long as he is. "People have been referring to this as" hiding in plain sight, "he said.
"Clearly, this is something that has been considered a possibility. Pakistan is a great country. We are looking now at how he could hold out there for so long, and whether or not there was any type of support system in Pakistan that allowed him to stay. "
U.S. officials are talking with the Pakistanis and pursue all avenues for this type of support system and benefactors that bin Laden could have been there.

Provide an overview of the decision process leading to the attack by U.S. Special Operations forces who killed the leader of Al Qaeda, Brennan called the attack a decisive moment in the war against the terrorist group blamed for 11 September 2001 attacks against the United States.
The Department of Defense and the CIA worked together to cut "the serpent's head known as Al-Qaeda," he said.
"It will have, I think, very important repercussions throughout the area, the al-Qaeda in this area," he said. "It's something we've been after for 15 years. It goes back before 9 / 11. "
Shortly after taking office, President Barack Obama has directed the Department of Defense and CIA to find and kill or capture bin Laden. Last year, the intelligence has indicated that the terrorist was locked in a compound million in Abbottabad, a garrison town 50 km north of the Pakistani capital Islamabad.
Months of relentless review reinforced this conclusion. And April 29, the President took the decision to go after al Qaeda leader.
