March 20, 2014 11:38

There is no reason to believe that anyone in the highest ranks of the Pakistan government knew about the location of slain al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, the White House has said.

A day after a major American daily claimed that the top ISI leadership knew about the presence of bin Laden inside the country, the White House maintained its earlier stance.

"As US officials have said, we have no reason to believe that anyone in the highest levels of the government knew about the location of bin Laden. That continues to be true," White House National Security Council said.
