The CIA discovered Osama bin Laden’s location from a Pakistani intelligence
official before the American Special Forces raid that killed the al Qaeda
leader, NBC News reports.
A Special Forces operator told the network that the government used a cover
story to assert that bin Laden’s courier tipped off the CIA in order to
protect the identity of the Pakistani official who gave up the information.
The military official added that Pakistani intelligence was hiding bin Laden
in the country.
