The main bottleneck in the road of Pakistan-US relation was Osama bin Laden who was killed on May 02 by US Navy SEALs in a raid on a compound in Abbottabad, but still same question is that whether Pakistan did not know about Osama’s hiding Abbottabad compound that was encircled with walls 18 feet high.

This question again spread out through an interview of the US Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta in which he said that some authorities in Pakistan knew that Osama was hiding in Abbottabad compound. “It was the largest compound in the area. So, you would have thought that somebody would have asked the question, ‘What the hell’s going on there?’ ”, Mr. Panetta said.

Mr. Panetta also confirmed that few months before American troops killed Bin Laden last May 2 when he was the director of the C.I.A., an imprisoned doctor Shikal Afridi in Pakistan had been working with the C.I.A. to gained access to the Osama bin Laden’s compound but never get DNA samples by matching that with Bin Laden family DNA evidence on file at the C.I.A., Americans would have allowed to claim that Bin Laden was hiding in Abbottabad.

Pakistan commission had arrested Afridi outside his house in Hayatabad, Peshawar, by security agencies on May 22, 2011and filed a treason case against him and ordered not be handed over to the US.

While asking about Pakistan commission’s action against doctor to access Laden’s compound, Panetta said, “For them to take this kind of action against somebody who was helping to go after terrorism, I just think is a real mistake on their part.”

However having no evidence that Bin Laden had supported the network within the Pakistani government nor about the officials knew he was hiding in the Abbottabad compound, the defence ministry have been working hard to improve relations with Pakistan.
