ABBOTTABAD, Pakistan- Osama bin Laden may have lived in Pakistan for more than seven years before be shot dead by US forces, senior Pakistani security officials, said Saturday, a disclosure that can foster anger key ally of Washington in the presence of the enemy number one in the country.
One of the widows of Osama bin Laden said investigators Pakistan that he remained in a village nearly two and a half years before moving to the nearby garrison of Abbottabad city, where he was killed Monday.
Wife, Amal Ahmed Abdelfettah, said investigators more sooner than bin Laden and his family had spent five years in Abbottabad, where a hunt of the most complex and expensive human history ended.
What is one of the leaders of security "Amal (wife of Osama bin Laden) has told investigators that they lived in a village of Haripur district for nearly two and a half years before moving to Abbottabad at the end of 2005.""," told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
Abdelfettah, with two other wives and several children, were among 15-16 persons were arrested by the Pakistani authorities to the enclosure after the raid.
Under strong pressure, Pakistan, strongly dependent on billions of dollars of American aid, is to explain how bin Laden could have spent so many years without being detected a few hours by car from his seat of intelligence in the capital.
Suspicions were exacerbated pervasive Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spy agency that Pakistan, which has a long history of contacts with militant groups, may have had links with bin Laden - or that at least some of its agents has done.
Pakistan has rejected these suggestions and said that he paid the highest human life award and money by supporting the war on launched activism after Osama bin Laden followers organized the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, on America.
Security officials said that Pakistan has launched an investigation into the presence of Osama bin Laden in the country of South Asia, considered essential to stabilise the neighbouring Afghanistan.
"It is very serious that bin Laden lived in cities (in Pakistan)... and we could nail it down fully, said one of the officials."
Pakistani leaders have already been narcotics problems before revelations that bin Laden was in their backyard raised new questions about their commitment to the fight against militancy.
Taliban militants linked to Al-Qaeda which seem to stage suicide attacks to remain a threat of major security despite several military offensives against their bases in the mountainous region of forbidding border between Pakistan and the Afghanistan.
The economy is stagnant and the Government must impose politically unpopular reforms to keep the money in an International Monetary Fund $ 11 billion loan towards Pakistan.
Pakistan are more impatient with food prices soaring and poverty of services and an education system which is the case of deficiencies that many parents are obliged to send their children to Islamic seminars spread extremist ideologies that fuel militancy.
Anger and suspicion between Washington and Islamabad on the raid in Abbottabad, 30 km from the Pakistani capital, showed no sign of abating.
The New York Times on Saturday quoted Pakistani officials saying the administration Obama had demanded Pakistan disclose the identity of some of its intelligence agents top as Washington seeks to whether they had contacts with bin Laden or his agents before the raid on his compound.
Officials were providing details of what the Times called Monday a tense discussion between Pakistani officials and a U.S. Envoy to Pakistan.
A Pakistani security officer denied the report, which he characterized as "false" and "malicious."
Many of Washington suspect Pakistani authorities had been either grossly incompetent or plays a double game in the hunt for bin Laden and partnership of both countries against the violent Islamists.
As it is committed in the fight against the damage on the presence of Osama bin Laden, Pakistan must prepare for the possibility that supporters angered by the death of Osama bin Laden will strike back.
Given that al-Qaeda has links with the Pakistani Taliban, this country could be an easy target.
Al Qaeda acknowledged that bin Laden is dead, allay misgivings by some Muslim leader of the militant group had really been killed by US forces and pledged to mount more attacks in the West.
The announcement Friday by the Islamist militant organization seems intended to show his supporters everywhere in the world, the group survived as an effective network.
In a statement online, he said of bin Laden's blood, "is most valuable for us and for every Muslim to wasted in vain be."
"It will remain, with the permission of Allah the Almighty, a curse that hunting Americans and their collaborators and their hunting inside and outside their country."
Al Qaeda has urged Pakistan to raise against their Government to "purify" the country of what he calls the shame he caused by shooting of Osama bin Laden and the "filth of Americans who spread corruption in it."
In Washington, said U.S. U.S. intelligence official has created on the ground in Abbottabad in advance the raid monitoring. A telephone call last year to a man known as the main service to bin Laden helped the CIA for the compound, the Washington Post reported Saturday.
American authorities say also among the materials found to hide the bin Ladens was evidence al-Qaeda at one point considered as impugning the rail transport system us on the 10th anniversary of the attacks of September 11.
