Pakistan has struggled for the past two years to explain just how Osama bin Laden managed to hide out in one of its military towns.

The answer, suggests a 336-page leaked judicial inquiry report, may lie in the sheer incompetence and corruption practiced by low-level government and military officials in the country.

In the nine years that Mr. bin Laden lived in Pakistan, the man who had a $25 million US bounty on his head could have been caught by any number of government functionaries.
