Pakistan military admits 'shortcomings' on bin Laden intel
2011-05-06
[Dawn] Pakistain's military on Thursday admitted to intelligence "shortcomings" on pinpointing Al-Qaeda chief the late Osama bin Laden's
... who was potted in Pakistain...
location and ordered an investigation.

The acknowledgement came after army chief of staff General Ashfaq Kayani
... four star general, current Chief of Army Staff of the Mighty Pak Army. Kayani is the former Director General of ISI...
convened a meeting of corps commanders on the fourth day after US commandos tracked down and killed bin Laden in the Pak town of Abbottabad.

"While admitting own shortcomings" in developing intelligence on bin Laden's whereabouts, the meeting said "achievements" by military intelligence against Al-Qaeda and other terror groups were without parallel.

In the bin Laden case, the military said the CIA developed intelligence based on initial information provided by Pakistain's Inter-Services Intelligence agency but did not share further developments with the Paks.

It said an investigation had been ordered into the circumstances that led to the intelligence breakdown.
