Afghanistan says Pakistan should have known bin Laden was there
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/04/us-binladen-afghanistan-ministry-idUSTRE7431MA20110504

(Reuters) - Pakistan's spy agency should have known Osama bin Laden was hiding not far from its capital, Afghanistan's Defense Ministry said on Wednesday, the first direct comment from Kabul about its neighbor's apparent inability to track the al Qaeda leader.

Defence Ministry spokesman Zaher Azimy said the case also raised questions about Pakistan's ability to adequately protect its nuclear weapons.

Bin Laden, architect of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, was killed by a U.S. strike team in a military garrison town about 60 km (35 miles) north of Islamabad on Monday.

U.S. lawmakers have demanded a review of aid to Pakistan after the disclosure that bin Laden could have been living in the house, which is not far from Pakistan's main military academy, for five or six years.

2. Let the finger pointing begin.
Just give them time to go over all the stuff they found in Osama's hideout. Then we'll know who's been naughty and who's been nice. I'll bet there are people in both those countries and a few more around the middle east that have real reason to worry.
