Alleged Bin Laden Raid Informants Arrested in Pakistan
Pakistan has arrested five alleged informants for the CIA who helped in the US raid that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden in northern Pakistan in May, the New York Times reported. Among those reportedly held by the intelligence agency, the ISI, was the owner of a safe house rented to the CIA to watch Bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad. Anchor Marco Werman speaks with the BBC’s Aleem Maqbool in Abbottabad, the town where Bin Laden was killed.
