ABSTRACT

Pakistan’s complicity in aiding and abetting terror groups was exposed when the United States Special Forces killed al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden on 1-2 May 2011 in the Pakistani garrison town of Abbottabad. The incident created rifts in the US-Pakistan relationship, as the latter saw it as a violation of its sovereignty. State involvement in the killing of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was also revealed when a report noted that the plot to kill her was hatched at the official residence of a Pakistan army brigadier.1 Reports also noted that the ISI helped the Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar to get treated in a Karachi hospital.2
